How we harvest
Hand-Harvested Tradition, Born from Sun and Sea
At Salinas del Carmen, our sea salt is created by nature and perfected by generations of skilled salineros. The process begins as Atlantic waves crash against volcanic rock, creating a mineral-rich foam that collects in a natural catch-pool known locally as “el saltadero.”
From there, gravity gently guides the brine through ancient stone channels into sun-warmed ponds. Over days, the intense Canary Islands sun and steady trade winds slowly evaporate the water, allowing pure sea salt crystals to form naturally on the surface.
When the time is just right, our salineros carefully lift the delicate salt crust by hand, drain it along the edge of the pond, and let it dry under the open sky. No machines, no chemicals—just sun, wind, and centuries-old tradition.
The result is bright-white, irregular crystals with a satisfying crunch and a clean, ocean-fresh flavor. Every batch is produced sustainably, with zero fossil fuels and total respect for the surrounding UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
