    Traditional Mediterranean Salt Creation

     

    The creation of Mediterranean salt is an ancient practice rooted in tradition and a deep respect for nature. This artisanal process transforms seawater from the Mediterranean Sea into pure, mineral-rich salt, capturing the essence of the region.

     

    Harvesting seawater; the process begins with the collection of seawater, typically from shallow coastal areas or lagoons known for their clean and mineral-rich waters. These locations are carefully chosen to ensure the salt retains the unique characteristics of the Mediterranean environment.

     

    Natural evaporation; The seawater is channeled into large, shallow salt pans or beds, often made of clay or other natural materials. Here, nature takes over; sunlight; the strong Mediterranean sun heats the water, causing evaporation and wind; coastal breezes accelerate the drying process. This natural evaporation concentrates the salt content, leaving behind a brine that is progressively richer in minerals.

     

    Crystallization; as the water evaporates, salt crystals begin to form:

    • top layers: fine, delicate flakes, often referred to as "fleur de sel" or "flower of salt," form on the surface. These are carefully skimmed off and prized for their texture and flavor.
    • lower layers: larger, coarser salt crystals settle at the bottom, rich in natural minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium.

    Hand harvesting; the salt is traditionally harvested by skilled workers using wooden rakes and tools. This labor-intensive process ensures the salt is carefully collected without damaging the delicate crystals.

     

    Drying and cleaning; the harvested salt is spread out to dry further under the sun. It is then lightly cleaned to remove impurities, but minimal processing is done to preserve its natural mineral content and flavor.

     

    "Mediterranean salt isn't just a seasoning; it’s a reflection of the region's harmony with nature and its timeless culinary heritage."
