Salt from the Tagus estuary
Sea Salt
Sea salt made the traditional way at Marinha do Canto, the flavour that endures.
Story of the piece
Sea Salt
It is far more than a seasoning
There was a time when it held great status. It was used as currency. It inspired trade routes. It was a political weapon, immortalised in Gandhi's Salt March.
The simplest things are so often the most enduring. And today, it lives in kitchens all over the world. To bring out flavour, to preserve, to purify. It even reaches into our imagination, called on to ward off bad luck and bad energy.
In the Tagus estuary, Salinas do Samouco were once the country's largest salt producers. Today, Marinha do Canto still holds on, where the salt, stubbornly, remains.
It is here that this Sea Salt is made, in the traditional way. With knowledge that has withstood time. As seawater evaporates, it retains its key natural minerals - magnesium, calcium and potassium.
It is this purity that sets it apart. We use it to season, to bring out and intensify the aromas that drift from kitchen chimneys and remind us of grandmother's cooking.
You can choose Coarse or Fine Sea Salt. But it is always more than seasoning. It is the flavour that endures. By the hands of all those at Marinha do Canto who insist on producing it.
