Product Details

Bacalao is the Spanish term for dried and salted codfish. This old-world method of drying codfish has been around for over 500 years and was a main staple of protein for many countries around Europe.

This gourmet specialty is especially popular during holidays, particularly Christmas. The dried cod is packed in an attractive wood box, which may be used for display and serving purposes. The box also makes for a perfect gift, whether shipped to your recipient or hand delivered. 

Each country has their own name for Bacalao, but the word mainly comes from the root 'bacal'. The Portuguese word for salt cod is bacalhau while in Italian it is baccala, and in Croatia it is bakalar. Heading North, in Norway, it is known as klippfisk and it goes by saltfiskur. In Iceland it is moure and in France is called brandade de morue. Reaching the shores of the Caribbean, it is simply known as saltfish.
