Brand at a Glance
Baccalà della Mamma is a family-operated gourmet brand from Istria, Croatia, specializing in high‑quality cod spreads, crafted from Norwegian stockfish.
Their journey began in 1986 at the family tavern Milena in Bačva near Višnjan, where their beloved cod in bianco quickly became a takeaway favorite.
Rising demand led to formal production in 1996, followed by HACCP certification in 2006 and a contemporary facility in 2011, enabling broader distribution and export to European markets.
