Production process
SALTWELL is extracted from a renewable underground sea hidden underneath the Atacama Desert.
After the solar harvest the grains are purified and made food grade quality at BRCGS-certified production facilities in Cyprus.
Throughout the process, SALTWELL is rigorously analyzed to guarantee compliance with strict quality and safety standards.
Atacama desert, Chile
This mineral-rich sea water has a unique chemical composition. It is pumped to the surface from a depth of 30-70 meters and collected in ponds, also known as Salinas. The water is naturally evaporated under the Chilean sun. During the process, a natural chemical reaction takes place to unite sodium and potassium in a unique salt grain containing 35% less sodium than regular salt.
SALTWELL is not a blend. Every grain naturally contains sodium chloride, potassium chloride and minerals.
From Chile to Cyprus
The salt is harvested with dedicated machinery and shipped to the production site in Cyprus.
A unique refining process
At the BRCGS-certified production site, SALTWELL is refined with a process that was specifically created and developed during the years for its unique characteristics. The process includes multiple washing steps, screens, magnets and metals detectors. The final result is a food grade salt with a high level of purity, cleanliness and quality.
Packaging and shipping
After the refining, SALTWELL is packed with food grade packaging materials and shipped to food producers all over the world.
Throughout the production process, SALTWELL is rigorously analyzed to guarantee compliance with strict quality and safety standards. Physical, chemical and microbiological analyses are included in our Quality Control Program.
