Mothia Sale Integrale Grosso Coarse Salt 1kg by SOSALT is a natural sea salt from Sicily.

"Mothia" is the name of a small island located between Trapani and Marsala, a beautiful place also known for the flamingos that fly there, depicted on the packaging.

This is a coarse-grained (Grosso) type of sea salt.

It is ideal for boiling pasta and vegetables, preparing soups, and for use in smoking.

About SOSALT:
The coast of Trapani in northwestern Sicily is where the ancient Phoenicians invented salt pans. This beautiful coastline is now a protected natural area. SOSALT, a leading manufacturer of Sicilian sea salt, continues to produce natural sea salt using the traditional methods of salt pans and sun-drying. Seawater is drawn into the salt pans using wind power from windmills, and from spring to summer, as the temperature rises, the water evaporates through the power of the sun and wind, while the salt is moved between different pans. The sea salt produced in this way is rich in natural minerals.

SOSALT's Commitment to Salt Production:
SOSALT's salt production involves no other additives; it is made simply by drying natural seawater. This results in a sweet-tasting salt that is rich in the minerals of the sea. Salt production takes place from late July to September, when the sun's rays are strongest. The Sicilian sun accelerates the evaporation of seawater, and as the salt is repeatedly moved between multiple divided salt pans, seawater with a salinity of 3.5% is gradually concentrated to 24%, ultimately accumulating 12-15 cm of salt crystals at the bottom.

While similar salt-making methods exist in France and Portugal, the salt produced there is slightly gray and cloudy. This is because the salt crystal layers are thin, allowing soil to mix in during harvesting. The Sicilian sun is very strong, and the constant wind causes rapid evaporation of seawater, leading to faster crystallization and thicker salt layers, resulting in pure white sea salt. Although it is not the fastest method, it takes 50-60 days for the salt to form.

Its flavor is a natural saltiness with a sweetness reminiscent of hard candy. You can also taste the minerals. Mothia natural sea salt is widely used in the production of Parma ham and Sicilian anchovies, and is chosen by artisans who are particular about the quality of the ingredients themselves.
