Amid the shimmering colours of the salt pans of Isola Longa and San Teodoro, in the heart of the evocative Stagnone Nature Reserve, our treasure is born: Trapani Sea Salt – IGP.

What you have received is not just salt. It is its purest and most exclusive form: Fior di Sale.

During the summer months, when the sun shines high and strong winds sweep over the basins, a thin, delicate layer of crystals forms on the surface of the water. This is Fior di Sale, an ethereal veil that captures the essence of the sea, the wind, and the Sicilian sun.
Our expert salt workers, following a centuries‑old tradition, patiently harvest it by hand, day after day. This precious layer is then laid in woven reed baskets along the edges of the salt pans to drain, preserving its extraordinary purity.

Fior di Sale is distinguished by its delicate, sweet‑salty flavour, which enhances without overpowering.

Use it exclusively raw, as a finishing touch on cooked dishes, to preserve its fragrance and unique texture.

Take a slice of crusty bread, drizzle it with extra virgin olive oil and finish with a pinch of our Fior di Sale. Close your eyes and taste: you will feel an explosion of flavours that speak of sea, sun, and the passion of our salt workers. A sensory experience that transports you straight to Sicily.

We look forward to welcoming you in spring to discover the life cycle of Trapani Sea Salt – PGI

I nostri salinari, custodi di una conoscenza tramandata da decenni, vi guideranno in una passeggiata indimenticabile tra le vasche:

• Our salt workers, custodians of knowledge handed down for generations, will guide you on an unforgettable walk among the basins:
  They will tell you, in Sicilian dialect, how the water moves between the sentina and the fridda, the straboria and the vasca ospedale.
• You will discover how wind and sun influence crystallisation and the vital role of the mills that power the ancient endless screws.
• You will see how, in September, the impressive mountain of salt is built in the aione, where it is left to rest over the winter.
  

Here you can taste salt, olive oil, and wine while admiring a breathtaking horizon.
