We work salt with respect for nature and tradition. With rigor, without forcing or excess. This is how true Sicilian excellences are born, both food and intended for well-being. Real Salt is a whole sea salt that is harvested by hand in the Culcasi salt pan located within the Trapani and Paceco nature reserve managed by the WWF.

The Vero Riserva del Mare salt is produced in the Culcasi Salt Pan located within the WWF Salt Pans reserve of Trapani and Paceco, a place of the heart of the FAI (Nubia). It is formed through the evaporation of water from the Mediterranean Sea. The production of salt takes place through the evaporation of sea water, which, thanks to a path formed by channels and tanks, leads the latter to have an increase in salinity and to purify itself of all impurities and bacteria present in the sea. Therefore, maximum salinity is reached in the salting tanks, where crystallization takes place. This process lasts about 6 months and is completed with the harvest that takes place in August and September.

The harvest takes place in three phases:

• the first phase consists of crushing and separating the salt crust from the bottom of the tank with a special tool called a "Palo".
• The second phase consists of collecting the crystals with special shovels, creating piles of salt inside the tank, in order to make it drier for the next phase.
• The third phase takes place by collecting the latter and transporting it in special wheelbarrows, towards the conveyor belts, which have the function of creating the large pile on the embankment.

At this point the pile is covered with tiles that have the important function of protecting the salt from winter rains, it is left to dry naturally for 8-9 months. After the months of drying, the product is intact and ready for grinding, which takes place with stainless steel millstones. This artisanal and traditional process allows the salt to maintain its unaltered properties such as: iodine, calcium, potassium and magnesium.

In fact, Riserva del Mare whole sea salt does not undergo any industrial process. Riserva del Mare whole salt has a unique and intense taste, is easily absorbed by the body, promotes alkaline pH and detoxifies. Thanks to its salting power, the amount needed is considerably lower than other industrial salts, greatly limiting the onset of certain diseases such as: hypertension, arterial plaques, concentration problems, memory loss and acidosis.
