Campania

The coast around Naples and the Cilento, home to one of Italy's most storied fish-preserving traditions. The fishing village of Cetara on the Amalfi Coast is famous for its anchovies and for colatura di alici, a translucent amber anchovy sauce descended directly from Roman garum and still made by aging salted anchovies in chestnut-wood barrels. Producers including Armatore, Iasa, and Sapori di Mare work in this tradition, packing anchovies, tuna, and mackerel, often by hand. Campania's preserving culture links the modern tin directly to antiquity.
