Alici di Menaica is a small family-run company that deals with the processing and sale of fish products and local fish preserved and processed according to ancient traditions.
There is an ancient fishing technique, once widespread on all the coasts of the Mediterranean, which survives in a few places in Italy. One of these is Cilento, in particular in Marina di Pisciotta, a small village on the coast, halfway between Velia and Capo Palinuro. The “menaica anchovies” are fished between April and July: you go out at dusk and spread the net blocking their path offshore. The net selects them based on their size, capturing the largest and letting the small ones pass. The anchovies must be processed immediately
In this Med Experience, Vittorio Rambaldo (owner of the processing factory of Alici di Menaica Donatella Marino) will guide the participants to discover this ancient tradition.
