In this collection, we exclusively feature our smoked sardines , distinct from traditional canned sardines. These are carefully selected sardines that are salted, cured, and gently cold-smoked to achieve a tender, juicy flesh with a very elegant smoky aroma .
The smoking process, combined with the coating oil, makes these sardines an ideal product for:
-
Toasts and canapés with crispy bread.
- Cold or warm salads with potato, tomato or green leaves.
- Boards of smoked foods alongside salmon, cod and mild pickles.
- Quick tapas where you want an intense but refined flavor .
They are perfect for those who already enjoy traditional canned sardines and are looking for a more gourmet and different option , without giving up the benefits of oily fish: quality proteins and omega-3 fatty acids.
Smoked sardines vs. "normal" canned sardines
Classic canned sardines are cooked and packed in oil or tomato sauce. Smoked sardines , on the other hand, are cured and cold-smoked before packaging, resulting in a more tender texture and a characteristic smoky flavor. This collection focuses exclusively on the smoked version.

Frequently Asked Questions
The smoked sardines have been cured and cold smoked , giving them a very mild smoky flavor and a more mellow texture.
Traditional canned sardines are usually simply cooked and packed in oil or tomato.
They are designed to be consumed cold or at room temperature , as part of toasts, salads, canapés or smoked meat platters.
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator , covered with their own oil, and consume them within 1–2 days to enjoy the smoky flavor at its best.
They typically have a medium saltiness , balanced by the oil and smoky flavor. If you want to soften the saltiness, serve them with neutral ingredients like bread, potatoes, or fresh vegetables.
You can add them at the end to warm dishes (pizzas, eggs, pasta), but if you cook them for too long they'll lose some of their smoky aroma. Ideally, they should be added at the very end of the cooking process .
Yes, they are still oily fish , with protein and omega-3 fatty acids. As always, the amount of oil in the overall diet must be taken into account.
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.
