Sal de Ibiza GRANO – Coarse Sea Salt in 1kg Bag
Sal de Ibiza Grano, coarse sea salt in a 1kg bag, is a completely natural sea salt, harvested in the salt pans of Ibiza, which were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. This sea salt, perfect for a salt mill, contains no additives or preservatives. It also undergoes no further refining process. It is ground in an ancient stone mill. We also recommend purchasing a Sal de Ibiza salt pot, which keeps the salt well preserved and protected from moisture, and can hold the entire contents of the 1kg Grano bag.
Sal de Ibiza – the white gold
For more than 2,700 years, the finest sea salt has been harvested in the salt pans of Ibiza. The salt was already highly coveted back then, as it was needed to preserve food. Ibiza even exported the salt to Greece and Italy. In 1235 AD, around 25,000 tons of salt were sold each year; salt was an important industry for the island. In 1871, two Mallorcan merchants bought the salt pans for the unbelievably high price of what would be €9.15 million today. This shows that salt has always been an ambassador for the island of Ibiza.
