PGI Lofoten Stockfish in Norway

Stockfish from Lofoten (torrfisk fra Lofoten) comes from the largest cod fishery in the world where, as far back as the Vikings, cod has been traditionally dried on racks for several months. Thanks to the ideal temperature, wind and local know-how, the fish could be kept for several years. The product is thus different from clipfish (klippfisk)/bacalao, the reference product in this study, which is both salted and dried and which was imported into Norway in the 16th and 17th centuries.
