Matiz Wild Atlantic Cod in Olive Oil, 5-Pack — Hand-Packed Galician Cod, Salt-Cured & Ready-to-Eat

Matiz Wild Cod in Olive Oil is hand-packed, salt-cured Atlantic cod from Galicia, gently poached in Spanish olive oil and ready to eat straight from the tin.

Harvested by small-scale fisheries off the coast of Galicia in northern Spain, this wild-caught cod follows traditional salt-curing and soaking techniques before being slow-poached in high-quality Spanish olive oil. Each tin preserves the fish's delicate, flaky texture and clean flavor, offering a convenient pantry protein that pairs naturally with salads, pastas, or classic Mediterranean recipes like brandade and fritters. Matiz emphasizes low-impact harvesting and artisan processing to deliver a naturally preserved product without added colors, preservatives, or GMOs.

How is this cod caught and prepared?

The cod is wild-caught off Galicia using methods designed to respect reproductive cycles and minimize bycatch. After catch, the fillets are salt-cured, carefully soaked to remove excess salt, and then gently poached in Spanish olive oil to lock in moisture and flavor.
