Absolutely natural, unrefined crystalline sea salt from Mesologgi, known as Afrina. The term "Afrina" is the local name for what is also known as Fleur de Sel or Flower of Salt. Afrina is produced only in the salt pans of Mesologgi due to the ideal conditions that prevail.
- The sea is shallow and warm, allowing the salt to form naturally.
- The wave action is minimal, which aids in crystallization.
- The winds are of moderate intensity, capable of drying the sea and carrying away the foam.
- The bottom is level, without slopes.
Afrina is born on the surface of the salt pans where, as the sea dries, a thin crust of the first salt forms. Gradually, aided by the wind, this crust will be carried away and deposited as foam on the sides of the salt pans (hence the local name "Afrina"). Subsequently, when this foam dries, it is collected exclusively by hand by specialized workers using wooden tools, an ancient technique known to those who harvest it. Afrina is the first harvest from the salt pans: as soon as this collection is complete, the gathering of the salt will begin.
Usage: In cooking as well as in confectionery.
