The salt extraction technique, adopted in the Trapani saltworks, is based on the spontaneous evaporation of sea water. Since the earliest times the saliferous countryside has been naturally linked to the succession of seasons, starting in March-April and ending in October. The winter semester remains the period of natural rest of the basins that are prepared for the production of the following season. The salt is produced through a selective process of "fractional precipitation". Only when the brine reaches the state of saturated solution, is it introduced into the crystallization tanks, where it precipitates sodium chloride, creating thicknesses that can reach 12 to 15 centimeters.  Harvesting is carried out either by hand or mechanized. The latter mode allows efficient harvesting while preserving all the characteristics of sea salt. 

The Saltworks

The saltworks of Trapani fall within the Nature Reserve of the Saline di Trapani-Paceco, one of the most uncontaminated reserves in Western Sicily. In these saltworks, which extend for about 1000 hectares, for thousands of years, man's knowledge and tradition have harmoniously combined with nature to create the Sea Salt of Trapani. In fact, it is here that SoSalt produces most of the product that is used by the entire Italian food chain and that can be found on the shelves of supermarkets, delicatessen, and restaurants all over the world. These saltworks are the emblem of the perfect integration between tradition and the most modern technology applied to salt. 

The Ettore e Infersa Saltworks is where SoSalt produces their unrefined sea salt, rigorously hand-picked using traditional methods handed down through generations. These saltworks represent a rare testimony of virtuous collaboration between man and nature, in fact, they are an extremely suggestive place where the "salt culture" has shaped the territory, in full respect of the ecosystem, in the wake of a centuries-old tradition.
