Obtained exclusively from the salt pans of Secovlje Salina Nature Park and Strunjan Nature Reserve, Piranska sol is produced on a natural base of algae and minerals known as petola, which is cultivated to prevent sea mud from mixing with the salt. This significantly improves its quality, making it purer and whiter. Due to a considerably high percentage of salinity in the Gulf of Trieste together with favorable climate conditions, here on the Slovenian coast, Piran salt is traditionally produced by hand, using the same salt panning methods and tools that have been in use for over the last 700 years. Piran salt contains no additives, and since it is neither refined or rinsed, it maintains a naturally balanced composition. A unique work of nature, Piran salt is mild in flavor and varies in subtle undertones of a distinct sea aroma.Expand

Paška sol is a unique type of sea salt harvested on the Croatian island of Pag. The area has a long tradition of organized salt production, and nowadays salty pools cover an area of over 2 million square meters.

Ninska sol is a type of sea salt obtained from salt fields in the area of Nin. This natural and organic salt is the final product of a unique combination of warm and sunny climate, clean waters of the Adriatic Sea, the winds blowing from the Velebit Mountain, and the diverse animal and herbal life in the area of production. Seawater from the Adriatic Sea enters the open pools during springtime, and with the aid of the warm and sunny weather, typical of spring and summer seasons, it goes through a stage of evaporation, leaving sea salt at the bottom of the pools. Once crystallized, the salt is harvested manually, as it has been done for over 1500 years, during spring, summer, and early autumn. Sea salt produced by Nin Saltworks is unprocessed, biodynamic, and mineral-rich, and it is available as coarse crystal and fine salt, flower of salt, non-iodized salt, and therapeutic salt. Ninska sol can be purchased online, and it is also exported to Japan, Europe, and the USA.Expand
