Our Salt
Our artisanal sea salt has an oceanic flavour that makes cooking and eating a joy.
High in quality and purity, with a natural humidity to it, its crystals preserve most of the minerals and micronutrients present in sea water, in their natural ratio, necessary for our wellbeing. With a complex flavour profile, our sea salt is an irreplaceable seasoning.
Our Method
We rely on nothing but what mother nature provides: sea and sun.
We bring water in from the Atlantic Ocean onto the salt pans, where it slowly evaporates. Through the course of a week we rake the waters to ensure even crystallisation across the pan, as salt crystals begin to form. Once enough salt accumulates, we collect it into pyramids to dry, at the edge of the pans.
Our Story
We are a family of artisanal sea salt farmers, based in Figueira da Foz, Portugal.
We have been producing artisanal sea salt since my grandfather’s day, by traditional methods on salt pans dating back to at least the 11th century.
With my uncle leading the charge now, we remain blessed with hot summers with clear skies, a beautiful region and big happy family gatherings – always accompanied by delicious food!
Our Misson
We want to see the salt gardens glisten and our region thrive once again.
Our mission is to revive the rich heritage of traditional sea salt harvesting by introducing our artisanal produce to a new generation of foodies, chefs and food producers. This will help us bring new value to local farmers and our region.
