ANCIENT SALTWORKER

Manual salt making is an ancient art that involves producing salt in the traditional way. This technique is passed down from generation to generation and requires in-depth knowledge of extracting and drying sea salt. The manual salt maker uses their hands and a few simple tools to collect seawater and let it evaporate in evaporation ponds, resulting in the formation of salt crystals. This process can take weeks and requires meticulous attention to ensure that the quality of the salt is preserved. The manual salt worker is an important figure in coastal communities, as their work is essential to the local economy and keeps an ancient tradition alive.

OUR CULTURE

Sea salt farming is an ancient activity that consists of extracting salt from seawater. This practice is carried out in coastal regions, where salt water is stored in tanks or lagoons and salt is obtained through evaporation. Sea salt is used in various areas, such as the food industry, food preservation and cosmetics production. It also has beneficial properties for health, being a rich source of minerals that are essential for the body's functioning. The production of sea salt represents an important economic activity for many coastal communities, generating jobs and contributing to local development.

AVEIRO SEA SALT

Sea salt is a widely used ingredient in cooking because of its health benefits. It is rich in essential minerals such as magnesium, calcium and potassium, which help regulate blood pressure and muscle function. In addition, sea salt contains electrolytes, which are important for hydration and the balance of body fluids. Its intense flavour enhances the taste of food, making it a popular choice for preparing gourmet dishes. However, it is important to consume sea salt in moderation, as excess sodium can be harmful to your health. So enjoy the benefits of sea salt, but always with balance and moderation.
