At the salt pans, seawater collects in shallow basins, where the natural action of the sun and wind gradually increases the brine’s concentration and forms crystals. Salt production is a defining feature of the region and part of Greek culinary tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAroma, Color, and Taste\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crystals have a \u003cstrong\u003ewhite to naturally off-white appearance\u003c\/strong\u003e and a clean, salty taste.

Always adjust the amount to the recipe and to any other salty ingredients it may contain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts neutral, clean taste allows it to pair with almost any basic spice or herb.
