SalMarim’s salt flats are hand-farmed the same way it was done back when the ancients ruled the area.  Owner Jorge Filipe Raiado, an accomplished gentleman-historian, is totally gung-ho about creating his products. According to him, his methods provide a purer sodium content, thereby keeping a singular taste of SALT and nothing else.  Jorge makes sure to maintain a delicate balance of fresh and salt waters, monitors wind direction, temperature and humidity—all factors in the final product. What results are super flaky white crystals. You only need a pinch to get your fix.  The Flor de Sal is unadulterated and it comes packaged in another of the Algarve’s products, a natural cork, which keeps the humidity at bay.
