Mediterranean Sea salt from Croatia fine

This all-natural salt is obtained from the Mediterranean coast in beautiful Croatia. The solar plant is set in a natural reserve far away from industry and urban areas. Seawater is directed into an elaborate system of channels set in the centuries-old salt marshes. After the wind and sun have helped evaporate the water, the salt crystalizes and settles. The salt is then harvested using traditional tools and is dried, before it is sieved into various grain sizes. The Mediterranean salt marshes are handed down from generation to generation and most of the families have been working them for many hundreds of years. The nature refuge is also an important habitat for many endangered bird and plant species. The farmers respect, and recognise that it is important for them to help in the preservation of this unique coastal landscape.
