The coastline around Trapani in western Sicily presents ideal conditions for salt production with a shallow swampy landscape, internal winds and warm Mediterranean climate. The volcanic rock surrounding the area gives the salt a distinctive sweetness.

Borrometi selects the best sea salt derived from naturally occurring basins around the coastline, with harvesting commencing in March and continuing throughout the summer.

The salt is processed into fine crystal salt or coarse salt before it is purified for packaging.
