Trapani Aromatic Sea Salt


Trapani Aromatic Sea Salt
This SoSalt sea salt comes from the ancient salt-works at Trapani where the sea, sun and the wind creates a salt that is particularly rich in minerals contained in the sea water(Magnessium, Potassium, iodine,...). These aromatic, flavored sea salts are the results of a careful, balanced mix of sea salts, herbs and spices such as oregano, garlic, bay leaf and rosemary. Use these salts to season dishes before and after cooking and grilling for added flavors.

Sizes: Fine ground in 1/2lb dispenser

About Trapani Sea Salt

About Trapani Sea Salt

Trapani salt is produced using sun, sea water, wind and organic planktons. The most ancient reference, from 1154 B.C., describe Trapani as surrounded by the sea and the salt works. This coastal shelf on the West side of Sicily has been producing sea salt from the time of the Phoenicians.

The Trapani Sea Salt is 98% sodium choloride, however, it also has Calcium, Magnessium, Potassium, Floride and Iodine present. This richness in minerals help enhance the flavor and tastiness of foods.

The Trapani Salt is harvested both manually by hand and by machines. Learn More
