Quality is paramount

Clean Atlantic water and careful manual harvesting, favoured by the absence of industrial emissions and the dry and windy Algarvian summers, are the key elements to producing premium sea salt. Depending on the weather patterns during the harvesting season, production may vary and consequently, our stocks may sometimes be limited.

As quality is paramount for Marisol sea salt, we only select natural, unprocessed salt from the Eastern Algarve´s traditional salterns, in contrast to industrial salt works that are also to be found in the Algarve.

We rely on trusting business partnerships, fair prices for producers and transparency for our customers. In conjunction with our suppliers and certifiers, we aim to maintain a long standing tradition as well as to establish sustainable salt production.The certification by Certiplanet and Natural Food Certifiers guarantees careful harvesting by hand and the salt´s safety with regard to its chemical composition. Marisol, however, guarantees its quality and taste.
