History of Aquí Santoña:

Aquí Santoña is a family-owned company with a rich history in the artisanal tradition of sea preserves. Founded two decades ago in Andalusia by people from Madrid, this company has stood out for its commitment to quality and the raw materials of the sea.

With Jorge Searle Hernández as president and founder, Aquí Santoña has kept alive the family tradition of artisanal work with the finest raw materials from the Cantabrian Sea. It all began with the family gathering at the end of summer, where anchovies brought from the north were shared, following a ritual of massaging, cleaning, and deboning.

What began as a small tradition evolved into a large-scale operation, always maintaining the artisanal essence. The Cantabrian anchovies are the heart of Aquí Santoña, treated with care and respect, using traditional methods to preserve their original flavor and texture.
