SALT ODYSSEY
ABOUT SALT ODYSSEY
They were enthusiasts of the Greek organic food market before setting their sights on salt. Greece, after all, is the cradle of the Mediterranean. Diet, mainly because of the variety and purity of its herbs.
They started with blending the aromas of Greek herbs with a prime sea salt harvested at the Salinas of Messolonghi - a natural habitat of wildlife in western Greece. Set between two rivers, a natural lagoon has been formed and is one of the most important wetlands in Europe and the largest in Greece. It is protected by the Ramsar Treaty and is part of the Natura 2000 network. It is a place of exceptional beauty and ecological value, rare flora, 280 species of birds and picturesque “pelades” - small wooden houses on piles in the water.
THE PROCESS
Production starts in early spring, when seawater is channeled, isolated and stored. There they let the spring and summer sun and winds heat and slowly dry it out. As summer draws to an end saltwater is transferred to pans where it’s allowed to fully dry until September when the salt is harvested. It is washed with brine to remove unwanted solids, but without losing trace elements and minerals. The whole process is based on the same traditional techniques that have been used for decades.
They use only the unrefined product, which is free from chemical additives and contains only natural ingredients. ISO 9001 and IFS certification standards are maintained throughout and quality and granulometry checks are systematically performed in the chemical laboratory.
