Sea Salt Mill with Turmeric and Lemon

If you were to cross the old Messolonghi - Aitoliko highway your view will be dominated by numerous 15m high salt mountains spread all across the saltwater plain. It is the largest salt marsh in Greece, capable of producing up to 80% of Greece’s salt (120.000 tonnes) and it covers an area of 46.5 km2. The Salt Odyssey production starts in early spring, when seawater is channeled, isolated, and stored. There they let the spring and summer sun and winds heat and slowly dry it out. As summer draws to an end, saltwater is transferred to pans where it’s allowed to fully dry until September when the salt is harvested. It is washed with brine to remove unwanted solids, but without losing trace elements and minerals. The result is pure salt, which will be stored in large 10 to 15m mountains. The whole process is based on the same traditional techniques that have been used for decades. Salt Odyssey uses only the unrefined product, which is free from chemical additives and contains only natural ingredients. ISO 9001 and IFS certification standards are maintained throughout and we see that quality and granulometry checks are systematically performed in the chemical laboratory.

Add this wonderful salt to salads, soups, boiled vegetables, and rice. It also brings out a special flavor when used with roast dishes.

It was Salt Odyssey that made Messolonghi's salt famous in Greece. First, in 2008, it packaged and marketed this amazing salt in its pure natural raw form. And natural it is indeed! And tasty! So is the constellation of the Salt Odyssey series of salts and spices; a natural source of vital elements for good health and a rich flavor palette for the gourmet of this world! It is now exported to 19 countries (and the now US, yay!) across four continents and with its 36 international awards, is arguably the world's most awarded natural sea salt.
