Description

Salted cod, or baccalà as it is known in Italy, is more than just a culinary ingredient—it's a beloved tradition, especially during the holidays. This centuries-old preservation method gives the cod a firm, dense texture and an intensely rich, savory flavor that has become a staple in many cuisines, most notably within the Italian community.

For many Italian and Italian-American families, baccalà is the star of the show on Christmas Eve. It is a central dish in the cherished tradition of the Feast of the Seven Fishes (Festa dei Sette Pesci), where families gather to enjoy a grand meal of various seafood before Christmas Day. The tradition dates back to the Roman Catholic practice of abstaining from meat on Christmas Eve. In this context, baccalà has become a powerful symbol of family, faith, and heritage.

Preparation Tips

Before cooking, our high-quality salted cod needs to be rehydrated and desalinated. Simply soak the piece in cold water, changing the water frequently over a period of 1 to 3 days until it reaches your desired level of saltiness. Once prepared, the possibilities are endless. You can find baccalà in classic Italian recipes like:

  • Baccalà alla Vicentina (braised with onions, anchovies, and milk)
  • Baccalà al forno (baked with potatoes, tomatoes, and olives)
  • Baccalà mantecato (whipped with olive oil and garlic)
