HISTORY "FROM GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT

Salt, which along with olive oil claims the title of "gold" of the earth, historically has its roots in its birth, almost synchronized with the birth of the human species. "YOU are the salt of the earth," Jesus said to his disciples . (Matthew 5:13). In Chinese papyrus, in 2700 BC. we find the first recipe for salt while in historical reports we learn that the Egyptians used it as a basic ingredient for embalming the dead. The Romans, in their exchange society, used it as a salary for the legionnaires, using the word sal they coined from an anagram of the word alas (<salt, salt). Thus came the English word "salary" and the word ("sales").

In Greece,Messolonghi has two salt pans near its lagoon. The largest is known to the locals as "White" salt pond and capable of producing 50-80% of salt produced in Greece. The second is Mavri Aliki, with a total area of 12,500 acres and which took its name from a species of seabirds that existed there, the "tourlides". The quality and purity of the salt that Messolonghi gives us, is now recognized by the greatest tasters in the world!
