Aperitivo Duo

Across the Mediterranean, aperitivo is more than a pre-dinner drink, it's a moment to slow down, gather around the table, and share simple, exceptional food.

The Aperitivo Duo celebrates this tradition by bringing together our crisp Mediterranean Gherkins and hand-cured Goan Anchovy. Using a centuries-old Mediterranean curing technique, we transform Goa's rich local sardines into delicate fillets packed in olive oil - the only Mediterranean-style fish fillets in olive oil crafted in India. Instead of importing fish from halfway across the world, we craft them fresh in Goa using one of the Mediterranean's oldest preservation methods.

One of our favourite ways to enjoy them is the iconic Spanish Gilda. Simply skewer a gherkin, a piece of Goan Anchovy and an olive, then make it your own with pickled chillies, pearl onions, capers or even a cube of pineapple. Every skewer is slightly different and every platter disappears quickly.

Beyond the Gilda, these two pantry staples open the door to countless Mediterranean classics. Lay the Goan Anchovy over pizza, melt it into pasta sauces, blend it into an authentic Caesar salad dressing, mash it into anchovy butter, finish grilled vegetables, or enjoy it simply on warm buttered toast. Pair it with crisp Mediterranean Gherkins on cheese and charcuterie boards, in gourmet sandwiches, burgers and salads, or enjoy them alongside your favourite aperitivo.

Whether you're hosting friends, packing a picnic, serving pre-dinner drinks or creating an effortless Mediterranean spread, these chef-crafted pantry essentials bring people together through simple food, great conversation and unforgettable flavour.

Build it. Skewer it. Share it.
