The secret of Salmarim products?

Let nature work. She knows what she does.

If there is one fundamental thing when talking about salt, it is time. And here, at the Sapal de Castro Marim Nature Reserve, where the salt flower is harvested by hand, time passes calmly, with time for nature to do its work without haste, and for the gestures to clean, repair, prepare , collecting is done at the right time, and over time to transform the usual tasks into important missions: those of collecting and preserving the delicate crystals of fleur de sel.

Salmarim flower in cork salt shaker

Harvested and packed by hand in the Sapal de Castro Marim Nature Reserve, the Flor de Sal Salmarim is delicate and voluminous and presents itself dry, in thin irregular reeds that melt between the fingers, without offering resistance or sticking to the skin.

This is one of the best in the world.

Hans Neuner, Chef at the Ocean Restaurant, on the Salmarim Flor de Sal (Salt Blossoms)

The savouring of one of my favourite salts! This salt is the work of the craftsman from the Portuguese Algarve who is Jorge Filipe Raiado. His company – Salmarin – produces a pure salt flake that is kept in a natural cork container that keeps its humidity under control. A work of art resulting from dedication and craftsmanship.

What do I like the most? Going down to the salt pans and harvesting the flakes of salt, feeling the heat, seeing the crystals floating and harvesting them until the sun goes down, these are the finest fleur de sel... and, when the weather conditions are clement, to collect perfect pyramids that bring out the flavour of a ripe tomato collected from the garden to renew your strength!
