THE PLACE

Salt with an address.

Wight Salt describes a polytunnel designed to retain solar heat. [1]

THE METHOD

How the salt is made.

Seawater evaporates in broad, shallow tanks inside a large polytunnel. A clear thermal liner helps retain heat from the sun. The operator’s science page explains this concentration setup but does not document every harvesting or finishing step. [1]
