Flavour Analysis

Baccalà’s first impression is an insistent salty character, but kombu dashi, seaweed and oyster soon reveal the profile beneath. A sardine note carries pungent fishiness, while a copper note brings a sharp metallic character into focus, and leather and sulphur notes give the profile several distinct sides.
