Cod loin - wet brine

Wet curing is the process of immersing products in a salt solution.This brine solution dissolves parts of the protein structure in the fibrous parts of the muscles. As a result, these proteins cannot coagulate and the product gets an extra tender texture during preparation. This water comes from the brine. When herbs and spices are also added to the brine, these aromas, together with the salt, penetrate the meat.
