Piran traditional salt

From the beginning to the end of the season, the salt worker must be present in the field every day, all day long. The work takes place from the early morning hours (6am-7am) until the late evening hours (9pm-10pm). If the season is long, the day becomes so short that sometimes the salt is collected with a cave lamp on the head, because it is already so dark at that time. The water has to be touched in the pool several times a day, mixed, the level has to be checked, the pool has to be cleaned, etc. The salt worker manually moves each kilogram of salt 3 times - first he has to collect the salt in the pool at the edge of the pool, then he has to shovel the salt onto a cart and finally unload it in the same way to the drain. In this way, from 150 to 300 tons of salt pass through the salt worker's shoulders, elbows and back every season, which always leaves consequences.

Piran salt is worth every cent because of its quality, rarity, hand-harvesting and traditional extraction methods. Precious because of its purity and unique taste.
