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.
