Why in GourmetVip - Flor de Sal Delta del Ebro

Our FLOR DE SAL is as pure and natural as the place where it is cultivated and hand-harvested. The SALINAS DE LA TRINIDAD, the Trinidad Salt Pans, form the heart of the Ebro River Delta Nature Reserve. Here, a salt production activity dating from the 14th century lives in harmony with one of the Iberian Peninsula’s richest and most densely populated avian wildlife areas, where a number of endangered species are to be found.

Flor de Sal is fragile and delicate, the same as the setting where it is hand-harvested on a daily basis.

The natural wealth of the Mediterranean sun and sea join forces with the expert hands of our people to collect a salt rich in minerals and trace elements which, thanks to its exquisite texture and taste, lends a unique touch to any traditional or innovative dish, enhancing its FLAVOURS.

PLACE:The Salinas de la Trinidad

Located at La Banya Point on the peninsula of Els Alfacs, which stands at the western edge of the Ebro River Delta (Tarragona Province), the salt pans are connected to dry land by the beach of El Trabucador.

The Trinidad Salt Pans, which are the only sea-salt pans in Catalonia, are set within the Ebro River Delta Nature Reserve.

The persons working at the facilities are the only ones with access to the salt pan facilities, which are totally free of industrial pollution for this reason.

On their 970 hectares, the Trinidad Salt Pans generate a unique ecological habitat of aquifers and wetlands with diverse degrees of salinity and microhabitats which are very rich in nutrients. Here, 85% of the world population of an endangered bird species, the Corsican Gull, nests and maintains its scant numbers. Likewise, this is the home of the largest colony of flamingos and the only place where these beautiful birds breed and develop in all Catalonia. Additionally, the Trinidad Salt Pans are the home of one of Spain’s most numerous populations of Anatidae and waders.

FLOR DE SAL, Flor del Delta

Our Mediterranean Flor de Sal, Flor del Delta, is natural, fragile and delicate. Thanks to its marine origin, it is indeed 100% natural just as is certified by ECOCERT and it contains most of the minerals existing and dissolved in seawater as well as 80% of the trace elements required by the body. Especially because of its high content of magnesium chloride and potassium chloride, it accentuates and intensifies the taste of foods.

In short, due to its richness in trace elements and minerals, it may be affirmed that Flor del Delta Flor de Sal is the natural ecological salt with the most complete nutrient content in the market.

HARVEST

The harvesting of Flor del Delta Flor de Sal is carried out in a completely manual way according to the traditional system of the French paludiers and the Portuguese marnotos.

The fragile crystals are collected daily with traditional utensils, the most important of which is the wooden pole called a lousse which has a screen at its bottom end to collect the Flor de Sal which is deposited on the pan surface.

Flor de Sal is the name received only by the thin layer of salt which is hand-harvested from the surface of the traditional salt pans, which are built especially for its production. What precipitates to the bottom is what is known as traditional salt.

Salt is a prized additive in gastronomy, a taste intensifier and an indispensable natural mineral which regulates the water level in the body.

Flor del Delta Flor de Sal contains all the minerals of seawater in addition to a lower content of sodium chloride, which makes it highly recommendable for a healthy balanced diet.

It receives no subsequent processing or additives to enhance its colour or taste.

Flor del Delta has obtained the prestigious ECOCERT certificate as an ecological salt of superior quality.
