THE PLACE

The people behind the salt.

Salt of the Earth traces its beginnings to Atlit in the 1920s. Its history describes salt carried in wooden wheelbarrows before the introduction of new ponds and mechanical collection. The company still lists Atlit among its production sites. [1] [2]

One place within a wider company

Salt of the Earth says most of its production comes from Eilat. This page follows Atlit; a product carrying the company’s name should not automatically be treated as Atlit-made.
