Baccalà Monti: A History of Tradition and Passion

The beginning of our history dates back to 1903, when Alceste Monti founded the company that still bears his name today.

That year marked the beginning of a real journey through the world of cod, characterised by passion and commitment.

The Roots of Tradition: this is our history

Alceste did not see cod as a simple foodstuff but as a true symbol of tradition and nourishment, capable of crossing geographical and cultural boundaries.

From an early stage, he understood the intrinsic value of cod and its potential to become a valuable resource for many people, and this vision laid the solid foundation on which the company’s tradition is still based today.

The ability to preserve cod through the salting method proved revolutionary, allowing the fish to overcome seasonal barriers and become a constant source of high quality nutrition.

This not only satisfied people’s dietary needs, but also helped to preserve and spread culinary traditions through generations.

Alceste’s ability to create a link between Norway and Italy, two seemingly distant worlds, testifies to his vision and pioneering spirit.

Thanks to this connection, our cod quickly became a benchmark in the industry, giving rise to the first major marketing of Norwegian Monti cod and earning a reputation for reliability and quality.

To this day, Baccalà Monti keeps the tradition alive through a combination of artisanal methods and modern technology; the commitment to offer an authentic, high-quality product remains steadfast.
