Today, the food industry is increasingly focused on ensuring freshness and safety while meeting the growing demand for natural foods and preservatives.

Baccalà Monti has been using high pressure processing (HPP) technology since 2010 to meet these requirements, offering a cutting-edge solution for maintaining food quality, extending shelf life and ensuring food safety.

What is HPP and how it works

The HPP is a treatment that uses high hydrostatic pressures: the food, inserted in sealed containers, are subjected to pressure up to 6000 bar, a force higher than that exerted in the deep ocean! This treatment is particularly useful for our cod, allowing to keep intact taste and freshness.

Shelf Life and Food Safety

One of the main advantages of HPP is the long-term preservation of products. With this treatment, Baccalà Monti manages to extend the shelf life in a natural way, without adding preservatives.

The result?
A fresh and safe product, available to consumers with an optimized shelf life.
Less waste, lower logistics costs and more sustainable food supply.

In addition, HPP is crucial for ensuring food safety. By eliminating common pathogens, our cod becomes a safer choice for consumers.

The technology allows us to offer high quality fish, reducing the risk of contamination.

Intact Nutrients and Authentic Flavor

The special feature of HPP is that, unlike other preservation treatments, it does not use heat, but only pressure. This allows you to maintain the nutritional values of the product, preserving vitamins and minerals.

The cold treatment preserves the authentic flavour of the food, making it indistinguishable from the fresh product and ensuring a natural taste experience.

commitment to quality

In Baccalà Monti, we are committed to using HPP treatment to guarantee high quality products that meet the highest standards of food safety and quality.

Sustainable fishing is an approach that aims to ensure the health of oceans and fish resources for future generations.

This means fishing in a way that does not compromise the ability of marine ecosystems to regenerate.

Baccalà Monti has adopted this philosophy, deeply integrating it into his business.

Our commitment to the sustainability of fisheries is reflected in several actions, including obtaining the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certification, the most prestigious international recognition for sustainable fishing.

The MSC certification process is rigorous and based on three core principles: healthy fish populations, minimising environmental impact and effective fisheries management.

Each of these pillars reflects our corporate philosophy and our commitment to operating responsibly.

The reasons why Baccalà Monti chose MSC certification

Baccalà Monti’s decision to obtain MSC certification was a natural step, dictated by a deep awareness of our role in the marine ecosystem and a commitment to a sustainable future, where passion for the sea is translated into concrete actions.

The path to MSC certification is the result of years of commitment and investment in cutting-edge technologies and production processes.

A virtuous path that is increasingly respectful of the environment.

We have successfully passed an in-depth assessment by an independent certification body, ensuring that we meet stringent environmental and social standards.

The benefits of sustainable fishing

For the environment: sustainable fishing helps to preserve marine biodiversity, protect sensitive habitats and ensure the survival of fish species.

for consumers:

• Transparency: MSC certification guarantees the traceability of the product and its origin from sustainable sources.
• Awareness: by choosing a MSC certified product, you actively contribute to the protection of the oceans and make an ethical choice.

Baccalà Monti has resolutely embarked on the path of voluntary certifications, with the aim of standardising its processes and offering customers a product that guarantees consistent quality.

Quality certification: protection for all

The certifications not only protect consumers but also represent a guarantee for the company itself.

Thanks to these standards, Baccalà Monti is able to map and control every stage of the production process, from the sourcing of raw materials to the sale of the finished product.

This approach minimises the margin of error and provides customers with a high-quality, safe, traceable and above all sustainable product.

MSC certification: sustainable and responsible fishing

Among the first certifications obtained we have the MSC Certification (Marine Stewardship Council).

This certification attests that the fish products come from sustainably managed fisheries, respecting the marine ecosystem.

Baccalà Monti has chosen to adhere to this standard in order to guarantee its customers that the cod used comes from responsible and well-managed fisheries.

The internationally recognised MSC Certification is an important tool for fisheries companies wishing to demonstrate their commitment to eco-friendly practices.

IFS certification: food safety and quality

The IFS (International Food Standard) is an international standard developed by operators of the Large Scale Organized Distribution in France, Germany and Italy.

This certification aims to manage processes and limit the risk of accidents along the entire production and processing chain of raw materials.

Baccalà Monti has adopted this standard to ensure compliance with food quality and safety requirements, as well as the legal regulations governing the sector.

The IFS is a reference point for retailers and consumers, ensuring that private label products are manufactured to the highest quality standards.

ISO 22005 certification: traceability and transparency

The ISO 22005 Certification is the international reference document for the certification of agri-food traceability systems.

Baccalà Monti has implemented this standard to ensure the traceability of its products throughout the supply chain, from raw material to finished product.

This certification makes it possible to highlight the particular characteristics of products, such as origin and territoriality, and to meet customers’ expectations in terms of transparency and reliability.

ACCREDIA certification: competence and reliability

ACCREDIA is the single national accreditation body designated by the Italian government, recognized to certify the competence of certification bodies, inspection and testing and calibration laboratories.

Baccalà Monti uses bodies accredited by ACCREDIA for its certifications, thus guaranteeing its customers that the evaluation and verification processes are carried out by competent and reliable bodies.

The ACCREDIA accreditation is a further guarantee for consumers, ensuring that the products and services offered by Baccalà Monti meet the highest standards.

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.

Corropoli, 14/12/2023 – Baccalà Monti demonstrated its commitment to its employees by rewarding their achievements in 2022 with a generous welfare initiative that can be enjoyed in 2023.

Monti’s Corporate Welfare: what it consists of

In recognition of the operational results achieved in the budget, Monti decided to establish a annual premium for each employee.

In 2022, the first minimum target was reached and the company thus disbursed a budget of €1,000 to each worker, usable through the Howden Assiteca welfare platform.

A gesture that underlines the importance of the contribution of each individual team member in achieving the previous year’s company results.

This bonus was paid to all employees, regardless of position or seniority level.

An initiative that sets a new standard in the industry.

A proposal appreciated by the Baccalà Monti team

Employees enthusiastically welcomed the initiative, appreciating the opportunity to benefit from a concrete support in an economically uncertain time.

The 100% utilisation of the budget is a strong indication of satisfaction and user-friendliness of the system chosen for delivery.

Corporate success as collective success

The budget, managed through a flexible system adaptable to individual needs, allowed employees to customise their welfare package, thus significantly improving their daily well-being.

“This initiative is a recognition of the outstanding results achieved in 2022. It is a choice that wants to look at a new way of understanding the company, in which the sharing of results and the will to be close to our employees does not only pass through words. “commented Massimo Monti, CEO of Baccalà Monti.
