Trapani Sea Salt PGI

Considered “white gold” since ancient times, salt is one of the oldest minerals formed on Earth and has always been valued by humans: for preserving and seasoning food, as a remedy against certain endocrine imbalances and for body care, as it is rich in magnesium and has a mineralising effect on the bones.

Trapani Sea Salt is a salt of the highest quality, owing to the fact that this raw material is produced in the unique environment, of the two protected areas of the Saline di Trapani e Paceco and Stagnone di Marsale, striking installations that have long been an integral part of Trapani’s coastline – together with the windmills and the white pyramids – along the “Salt Road”, which runs from Trapani to Marsala via Paceco.

As it is extracted and produced in the salt pans according to the traditional artisanal process, this salt has been awarded PGI recognition by the European Union as well as being a Slow Food Presidium. Moreover, since it is not refined or washed to alter its properties, Trapani Whole Sea Salt retains the trace elements contained in seawater, including more potassium and magnesium.
