Bacalhau

Bacalhau carries no EU protected designation. It is the Portuguese tradition of heavy salt-curing and drying Atlantic cod, known colloquially as "fiel amigo" (faithful friend). The product is reconstituted before use, yielding white, flaky flesh. Its commercial and cultural centrality to Portuguese cuisine is recognised in the catalogue as a heritage tradition within the seafood and conservas category.
