About Creamy baccala

Creamy Baccala is a traditional dish rooted in Italian cuisine, particularly popular in regions like Veneto and Liguria. Made from salted cod that's soaked to remove excess salt, the fish is blended with olive oil, milk, and sometimes garlic until it reaches a rich, creamy consistency. The mixture is often seasoned with herbs such as parsley or nutmeg, giving it a distinctive flavor. This dish is typically enjoyed spread on crostini, polenta, or as a warm dip. High in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, salted cod offers heart-health benefits, while olive oil contributes healthy fats. However, the addition of milk and heavy oils can increase calorie and fat content, requiring moderation for those watching their intake. Creamy Baccala represents a balance of indulgence and nutrition, combining the flavorful heritage of Italian traditions with wholesome seafood.
