It was these monks who, after fishing, cleaned the anchovies and placed them in layers with coarse salt in large wooden barrels to preserve them throughout the winter.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The excess liquid produced by soaking the fish in salt, which was deposited and dripped onto the bottom of the barrel, was very fragrant and one day the monk in charge of the kitchen decided to recover it and use it to season some vegetables.
