Tips and curiosities of the tomolo
Trapani salt is the only sea salt in Italy that has received recognition as a traditional agricultural product (PAT) by the European Union. The PAT label ensures the quality of a product, guaranteeing that it is made using traditional techniques and local ingredients. The production of Trapani salt follows an ancient traditional method that dates back centuries. Sea water is collected from the salt pans and then left to evaporate in the sun. The salt is then harvested by hand and left to dry naturally. This Trapani sea salt is considered whole, meaning it does not undergo any refining processes and retains all the minerals present in sea water. Its characteristic pinkish hue is due to the presence of algae and other microorganisms.
