No. Thanks to our certified ultra-freezing process, we completely eliminate this risk.
We guarantee a consistent flavor, a firm texture, and complete control over the desalting process. We avoid making some parts more salty than others.
Our cod is caught in the cold, clean waters of the North Atlantic, mainly in Iceland and Norway , regions internationally recognized for the excellence of their fish.
There, the cod develops firm, white, and juicy flesh thanks to the climate and the purity of the sea. After being caught, each batch undergoes strict quality control , ensuring that only specimens that meet our standards reach you. This way, you always receive fresh, safe cod with an authentic flavor.
The cod comes vacuum-packed, which makes it easier to preserve:
In the refrigerator (0º to 4ºC): up to 3 weeks in perfect condition, maintaining flavor and texture.
In freezer (-18ºC): up to 12 months without losing quality, flavor or nutritional properties.
Furthermore, thanks to its packaging, it doesn't release any unpleasant odors or liquids into your refrigerator. This means you can buy it with peace of mind, consume it whenever you want, and always enjoy it as if it were freshly prepared.
Cod is extremely versatile in the kitchen. You can enjoy it in traditional recipes such as cod in pil-pil sauce, cod Biscay style, baked with potatoes, or in green sauce , but also in more modern preparations such as warm salads, cod tacos, or even poke bowls.
It's also ideal for brandades, croquettes, and fritters , perfect for impressing family gatherings or meals with friends. Its firm texture and balanced flavor make it suitable for all kinds of recipes, from simple to elaborate.
