| RAVIDA sea salt is
produced from the low waters of the Mediterranean sea along the
western coast of Sicily. It is a natural untreated salt, made
to traditional methods, rich in minerals such as iodine, fluorine,
magnesium and potassium, all of which make it an ideal table salt.
The shallow waters of this lagoon, with their high mineral content,
combined with the sun and wind, produce this quality sea salt.
The salt pans are filled with seawater in the spring and left
to evaporate under the intense heat of the Sicilian sun and strong
African winds.
Harvesting takes place once the water has evaporated. The salt
is piled firstly into small heaps inside the salt pans and then
into larger piles along the edges where they are protected from
the rain with clay tiles. It is then simply crushed and ground
without further refining.
The combination of different minerals and the naturally low percentage
of sodium chloride in RAVIDA sea salt
gives it a delicate taste and plenty of flavour without being
too strong or salty.
RAVIDA sea salt conforms to EU regulations
and is used as a cooking and table salt to enhance the most delicate
of foods.
Available in 200, 500 and 1600 gram jars. |
