As it loses water, the concentration of Omega 3 intensifies, a sure sign of quality and flavor. Once on shore in the Basque Country, our partner packs each cod in sea salt.
Not only is the quality superior, but cod from this area is certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council. We searched for the finest bacalao in Spain from a sustainable source, and we found it! Our partners are fanatics about quality, using only line-caught cod from the Faroe Islands. Center cut and boneless, they are the finest part of the bacalao. These flaky loins are desalted and ready to prepare in your favorite Spanish recipe. Each loin is so thick, they refer to this cut as 'Hercules'! This cut is perfect for traditional dishes or simply sauteed in olive oil and garlic. This special salt cod is caught by line, then salted and prepared by artisans in the town of Elgoibar. Delicate, flaky bacalao is the pride of the Basque Country.
