Sal De Mar Salt

Sal del Mar gourmet sea salt is a coarse, moist sea salt harvested from the pristine Sea of Cortez.

The taste has a rustic, intense flavor making it ideal for every day cooking as well as for crusting the rim of a margarita glass. It offers a healthier and crunchier experience than traditional table salt.

The salt making process is based on ancestral methods using controlled salt ponds. The Sea of Cortez floods flat, shallow beds and then a dam is used to trap the water.

This traditional method allows the water to naturally evaporate as it is dried by the sun, leaving a layer of sea salt. The salt crystals are then raked by hand, instead of using big bulldozers like some companies do. The result is a quality product that is handmade and traditional in a world that is increasingly losing the artisan approach.
