hand-harvested sea salts

traditionally harvested sea salts from around the world

traditional salt harvest For thousands of years, salt was harvested by hand.  Wooden rakes were used to capture the salt crystals which were placed in shallow pans where the natural heat of the sun would dry the salt.  With the coming of the Industrial Revolution, mechanized salt harvesting made rare and expensive salt a common item available for every table.

Today we have 'rediscovered' the delicious benefits of sea salt harvested in the traditional manner.  The natural combination of pristine sea water and the sun creates a magic that is impossible to duplicate with modern salt mining.  The distinctive characteristics of each salt pond contribute to the individual taste of the sea salt that is harvested.

faerie's finest is excited to carry a variety of traditionally harvested sea salts.
