THE PLACE

Salt with an address.

Necton identifies its location as Belamandil, between Olhão and Faro in the Ria Formosa. This profile covers its saltmaking operation, rather than its separate microalgae business. [2] [3]

THE METHOD

How the salt is made.

The operator describes seawater crystallising through solar evaporation. Flor de sal is skimmed manually from the water surface, while coarse salt is gathered from the bottom of the pans. Fine salt follows an additional grinding step. [1]

Process described by the operator; method categories are editorial groupings. Not independently inspected.
