Sr. Bacalhau Lombos de Bacalhau Congelados (2 Units/Pack)

Sr. Bacalhau Lombos de Bacalhau Congelados (2 Units/Pack) represents the "fillet steak" of the Atlantic cod. These are the thickest, most succulent parts of the fish, specifically selected for their ability to flake into large, tender "lascas" when cooked. Sr. Bacalhau is one of Portugal's most prestigious brands, known for following the traditional curing methods before the freezing process.

Product Overview

• The Cut: These are Lombos (loins), the center-cut portion of the cod. They are skin-on and bone-in (usually) to preserve the gelatin and moisture that gives Portuguese cod its unique texture.
• "Demolhado" (Ready to Cook): Most Sr. Bacalhau frozen loins come "Pronto a Cozinhar," meaning they have already been traditionally salted and then desalted (soaked) to the perfect salt point before being ultra-frozen.
• Sustainability: Sourced from the cold waters of the North Atlantic (Iceland/Norway), ensuring the firmest flesh and highest quality.

Key Culinary Uses

1. Bacalhau com Natas: The thick loins are perfect for poaching and then flaking into a rich, creamy bake with Parmalat Cream.
2. Bacalhau Lagareiro: Because these are thick cuts, they can withstand the high heat of roasting in an oven with plenty of Gallo Olive Oil, garlic, and "punched" potatoes (batatas a murro).
3. Bacalhau Cozido: The ultimate test of quality. When boiled simply with chickpeas and cabbage, these loins should separate into clean, white flakes.
