Natural Coarse Sea Salt from Trapani 300g

You may be forgiven for asking wait a minute, what’s so special about sea salt? It is after all, only salt! However, people are beginning to take notice and recognice the distinctive qualities that different marine salts possess and how they interact with and enhance foods. Sea salt from Trapani is renowned as one of the world’s finest.

For over 2000 years salt has been harvested by hand along the famous salt road between Trapani and Marsala on the West coast of Sicily.

Today, the very same harvesting methods are followed, using just the sun and warm African winds to slowly evaporate the sparkling clean seawater of the salt pans. The whole area is a WWF nature reserve and protected from any kind of pollution.

The salt produced is unrefined, unwashed and unaltered in any way. It contains more magnesium, potassium and less sodium chloride than regular refined salt. However its array of trace elements is the real distinguishing feature that gives the salt its special flavour.
