Cantabrian Anchovies "Karmelo Toja" - Tradition and Excellence

Since the 1970s, the Toja family has been deeply connected to the world of fishing and anchovy production in brine in Bermeo, one of the most iconic ports along the Cantabrian coast. With over 50 years of experience, this tradition is reflected in the unmatched quality of select Cantabrian anchovies, marketed under the brand “Karmelo Toja” since the year 2000.
