BACALAO OUTÓN

Founded in 1980 by Don Francisco Outón Estévez, Bacalao Outón is a family business in the cod market, today being one of the leaders in the Iberian Peninsula. The household spirit attached to a high degree of professionalism have preserved the traditional process that give the product the qualities for which has been a so appreciated delicacy throughout its history.


 

Location and facilities

The company is located in the south of the province of Pontevedra, in the municipality of Ponteareas. This location is strategic, as it belongs to the metropolitan area of Vigo which is today one of the most important fishing and logistics ports in Europe. The location is also key due to its proximity to Portugal, as this country is the largest consumer of salted cod in the world.

In recent years we have invested heavily in improving our facilities to meet growing demand and ensure the correct treatment of the product throughout the production system. 5,000 m2 of refrigerated facilities, drying and processing plants are based on a plot of 10,000 m2 exclusively intended for the processing of cod.
