What is sea salt and why is it called that?

Sea salt, like vacuum salt, is valued for its purity and specific uses, but its production method and characteristic properties vary significantly. Sea salt gets its name and properties from the natural process of seawater evaporating under the influence of sun and wind in large, shallow ponds. This leads to the crystallisation of the salt as the water evaporates, resulting in the formation of salt crystals.

This natural process results in sea salt with a broad spectrum of minerals, in addition to sodium chloride. This method is energy-efficient and minimises the risk of unwanted chemical reactions, while delivering a product with a unique flavour and texture.

The production of sea salt begins by channelling seawater into shallow evaporation ponds. Under the heat of the sun and the action of the wind, the water evaporates, leaving salt crystals behind. These crystals are then harvested, washed and dried. This method harnesses natural processes, resulting in minimal energy consumption and limited environmental impact.

•  Sea salt is used in various sectors, especially because of its natural purity and rich mineral profile. It is used in the food industry, in water treatment, in healthcare and even in the production of de-icing granules.
• For de-icing granules, sea salt offers an environmentally friendly option to combat slipperiness from ice and snow on roads and paths. Its natural composition ensures effective de-icing properties, while keeping the impact on the environment limited.
• As water softener salt in water softeners, sea salt can help soften hard water by replacing calcium and magnesium ions. This contributes to the lifespan of household appliances and improves the effectiveness of soap.
• In pool maintenance, both sea salt and pool salt facilitate the production of chlorine via electrolysis, keeping the water clean and clear. This method offers a skin- and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional chlorine tablets.
• In the kitchen, sea salt enriches dishes with its characteristic flavour and provides a source of essential minerals. It can also contain iodine, an important mineral that helps prevent dietary deficiencies.
