Condiment
Colatura di Alici
S tier
Colatura di alici is the Amalfi amber drip of salted anchovies: clear, intense, the spaghetti-aglio-e-olio luxury cousin. Cetara is the famous village. A teaspoon dresses a kilo of pasta. Do not cook it long. Fish sauce is a cousin, not a twin—colatura is cleaner and more anchovy-specific.
