OUR HISTORY:
Alceste Monti, a pioneer in the field of a product that has become a symbol of tradition, understood from the outset the potential that cod brought with it for his family and future generations.
In his dedication and passion for his work, he showed great enthusiasm in sharing his knowledge and a deep love for travelling, thus succeeding in uniting two then distant worlds: Norway and Italy.
And it is thanks to this link that the first major commercialization of Norwegian Monti salted cod came into existence.
The preservation capacity of this product, thanks to the salting method, has historically given it the reputation of ‘poor man's fish’, consumed all year round regardless of the fishing seasons.
In this way, Monti salted cod overcame seasonal barriers and became a valuable resource for people looking for a steady, high-quality source of nutrition.
Over the years, the company has perfected its processing techniques, using traditional methods combined with state-of-the-art technology, to guarantee a salted cod that retains its deliciousness and nutritional properties.
TODAY: SAME QUALITY, NEW GENERATION
The legacy of Alceste Monti lives on through the fourth generation of the family, carrying on the passion and pride of providing a product of excellence, a symbol of Italian culinary culture.
Artisan tradition combines with modernity, creating a balance that has made Monti a point of reference in the sector in which it operates.

We foster a working environment based on trust, in which transparency and fairness are the basis for every decision made.
MISSION AND VISION: guided by a single focus, sustainability
At the heart of our Mission
Our mission is easily visible in our commitment to offer customers a salted cod that is not only extraordinarily tasty but also intrinsically healthy.
Every step of our production process is designed to maintain product purity, avoiding the use of artificial preservatives.
We want our salted cod to represent the very essence of wild nature and to be carefully traced, from fishing to the table.
Our dedication is the hallmark of authenticity in every product we bring into your kitchen.
Preserving the future of salted cod
We wholeheartedly believe that only a sustainable supply chain can guarantee the quality and accessibility of salted cod for future generations.
Our profound commitment translates into a mission for a future where salted cod thrives in harmony with the environment and us.
Beyond simple production: our Eco-Sustainable Vision
At present, we have achieved complete control of every stage of the supply chain.
This means that each step undergoes rigorous quality control.
We do not use polyphosphates or other ingredients that could compromise the authenticity of the salted cod because our production is based on respecting nature and on the guarantee that our product is immediately consumable.
With no desalination required, waste is kept to a minimum and the preparation of dishes is made easier for those who love good cooking.
A Tribute to Mother Earth: for a sustainable and delicious future
The sustainability is one of our core values.
We feel that this commitment is owed to ourselves, to future generations and above all to Mother Earth, who has been kindly hosting us for so long.
The beauty and abundance of nature must be preserved and we are determined to do so through every aspect of our production.
The words of Massimo Monti, our Production Manager, are a reflection of our continued commitment:
‘This vision is at the heart of every aspect of our production. It drives us to pursue a sustainable supply chain that represents the highest quality, environmental responsibility and respect’.
Join us in this mission of preservation for the future, so that future generations can enjoy the culinary treasure of cod without compromising the beauty and prosperity of our planet.
