saltworksTHE PLACE
Salt with an address.
Solana Ston produces sea salt in shallow ponds beside the town of Ston. Its working saltworks are also a visitor attraction. [1]
THE METHOD
How the salt is made.
Seawater passes through successive groups of ponds, concentrating as sun and wind evaporate water. Salt then forms in crystallisation ponds for seasonal harvesting. [1]
Process described by the operator; method categories are editorial groupings. Not independently inspected.
