What salt do we harvest from the salt pans?
Flor de Sal
Flor de Sal is our premium salt. It crystallizes on the surfaces of the salt pans. From there it is also skimmed off by our salineros - our skilled salt workers.

Pur de Sal
Pur de Sal is also a natural sea salt from the salt pans. It is slightly coarser than the delicate Flor de Sal. Its quality is superior to conventional sea salt.

The "KM 0"
Es Trenc beach is home to kilometer 0 of natural salt production. Here the sea water makes its way to the salt pans. The square stone construction directs the water towards the canal.
Filtering in the channel
The water makes its way through channels with a slight incline and is naturally filtered and cleaned by algae and mud
Large salt pools
On its way to the square salt pans, the water moves through larger salt pools. The salt concentration is getting stronger. An algae creates the pink color of the water
Time for the harvest
In the square salt pans, the salt concentration is so high that the Flor de Sal crystallizes on the surface. It is harvested in summer.
Dried and packaged
After drying in the sun, our Flor de Sal is packed into one of our beautiful containers.
The working phases of the Salinero
Spring
At the beginning of March, the salinero has to clean the rainwater from the pools. The salt pans are thus prepared for the correct salt concentration.
Summer
Summer is harvest time. The salt crystallizes in the ideal conditions of sun and warm wind. The salinero scoops it from the surface.
Autumn
In the fall there is a recovery period for Salineros.
Winter
In winter, care must be taken to ensure that the salt pans are not affected too much by the weather.
