What makes Piran salt so special?
Piranska salt is harvested by hand in the Piran salt pans, where for over 700 years, salt workers have carefully and patiently produced this precious natural resource. The salt pans are located on the outskirts of the Sečovlje salt pans, where seawater evaporates under the influence of the sun, wind, and other natural factors. It is this combination of natural elements that allows for the production of salt of exceptional purity and mineral composition.
In addition to unique climatic conditions, the Piran salt pans are also a protected area where salt is produced using traditional methods without the use of chemicals. Salt workers preserve the environment and natural processes, allowing for the formation of salt that is completely natural, rich in minerals, and free from any additives. It is precisely for this reason that Piran salt has a distinctive taste that differs from other types of salt on the market.
Use of Piran salt in cuisine and in your kitchen
Piran salt is not just an addition to dishes; it is an ingredient that can change the flavor and texture of your meals. Its delicate yet pronounced saltiness is ideal for enhancing the natural flavors of food without overpowering them. The salt crystals harvested from the Piran salt pans are often larger and irregularly shaped, allowing for diverse uses in the kitchen. You can use it for seasoning meat, vegetables, fish, or salads, as well as in the preparation of various sauces and desserts.
A special category is the Piran salt flower (fleur de sel), which is hand-harvested from the surface of evaporated water. This extremely fine salt is used as a finishing seasoning that adds a gourmet flavor to dishes. The crystals of salt flower are highly valued among chefs, as they enrich dishes with a unique texture and flavor that other salts cannot offer.
