The White Gold of the Algarve

Marisol's traditional seasalt results from natural evaporation of the sea water through sun and wind. Clean Atlantic water and careful harvesting allow to produce a white salt without washing: the »white gold« of the Algarve. Marisol's traditional seasalt is completely natural and free of additives. As it is not purified and not artificially dried, it is rich in minerals and essential elements of the sea water.

Marisol Sal Tradicional

This unprocessed seasalt comes from small traditional crystallizer ponds. Salt crystals originate from the concentrating brine and precipitate to the clay bottom of the ponds. The salt is harvested every 10 to 14 days, by hand with wooden rakes, and shaped to piles beneath the pans. Sun drying keeps the natural moisture and the sea water's minerals. Before packaging, Marisol Sal Tradicional is carefully ground coarse or fine according to the customer's needs. Its intact mineral composition, rich in Magnesium, Potassium, Iodine and Selene, makes this white natural seasalt both healthy and tasteful. Use it as a cooking salt for all culinary purposes.

Marisol Sal Tradicional and Flor de Sal are produced according to organic and kosher standards for sea salt, certified by Certiplanet, Peniche/Portugal (EU acc. - PT/AB 04), and by Natural Food Certifiers, New York/USA (USDA acc.). Regulations and lab sheets available on request. Marisol aims to establish a sustainable seasalt production.

Marisol Flor de Sal

Marisol's flower of sea salt from the Eastern Algarve´s traditional salt works is what is called »Fleur de Sel« in France, in Portugal also known as the cream of the salt pan: lamellous, flaky crystals forming a thin and shiny layer that floats on the surface of the brine. Skimmed off by hand every day in good weather conditions and simply sun dried before packaging, this finest sea salt brings its delicate, slightly sweet flavour to carpaccios, salads and all prepared dishes.
