What our customers say
I'd been buying salted cod at the supermarket for years and was perfectly happy with it. The day I tried Iceland's Bacalao, I realized I'd been eating an inferior version for ages. It had no saltiness, no texture, no clean smell. I can't go back.
As a chef, I evaluate cod based on the consistency of the salting, the firmness of the flesh, and how well it binds the pil-pil sauce. I've tried five different suppliers. Bacalalo is the only one that passes all three tests. Its Icelandic origin makes all the difference.
I ordered it to make bacallà a la llauna (cod in a tin) for my family. My in-laws, who are from the north and very particular, asked me where the cod was from. When I told them, they asked for the link. It couldn't have been a better recommendation.
I've been ordering monthly for two years. I use the desalted cod during the week: in omelets, salads, croquettes. My children eat it without complaint. Consistent quality is what I value most. I don't look for alternatives.
