Salt farmers in Figueira da Foz have been working to nature's rhythm since the 12th century.
Naturally filtered through beds of sea algae on its way to the pans.
Water slowly evaporates under the sun, and salt crystals begin to form.
The waters are raked throughout the day to ensure even crystallisation.
Salt is then gathered into pyramids to dry naturally, then stored.
Behind every grain, a farmer tending the pans from sunrise to sunset. Hot summers, big family gatherings, and lots of delicious food.
A beautiful way of life
The joyful summer gatherings.
Worked here since the 12th century
Salt has been made along this coast for centuries. At its peak, the region had over 1,000 salt pans. More than 150 farmers once worked here; today, fewer than 50 remain. Our mission is to bring the salt gardens back to life.
We honour the salt farmers by paying a fair price for their hard graft.
