Fine Sicilian Sea Salt 1kg

Sale fino, or fine salt, is your everyday essential—only better. Unlike industrial salt, this Trapani fine sea salt is never bleached, washed, or mechanically harvested. It contains no anti-caking agents and is shoveled by hand from the salt flats of Trapani, on Sicily’s northwestern coast—just as it has been for over a thousand years.

Collected from the shallow Mediterranean waters, this salt is naturally rich in iodine, fluorine, magnesium, and potassium, while containing a lower percentage of sodium chloride than commercial table salt. That means more flavor, less sodium—a pinch goes a long way in enhancing the natural taste of your favorite dishes.

With its fine, pinchable crystals, this is the most versatile grind:

• Ideal for salting before or after cooking
• Melts quickly and evenly
• Offers a satisfying crunch when used as a finishing touch

This is the salt you’ll reach for every day, replacing your commodity salt with something nutritious, flavorful, and truly sustainable.

A Thousand-Year Tradition on the Sicilian Coast

On the windswept coastline of Trapani—where white salt pyramids and ancient windmills dot the landscape—the summer salt harvest is an enduring ritual dating back to the Greeks and Romans. The Gucciardo family continues this legacy using a historic salt mill built in 1884, located inside a protected nature reserve overseen by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

Here, amidst a sanctuary for migratory birds like purple herons and grey parrots, Enzo, Salvatore, and their team hand-harvest salt in the scorching heat of July and August. Their work is a labor of love, rooted in Sicilian heritage.

Unlike industrial salts—harvested by machines, then washed, stripped of minerals, and reconstituted with chemicals—Trapani sea salt is 100% natural, unrefined, and full of character.
