Far from industrial production and mass manufacturing, this beautiful Atlantic coastline benefits from clean ocean waters, abundant sunshine and constant coastal winds — ideal natural conditions for traditional sea salt production, a craft that has been practised here for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt is here, in the traditional salt pans of Belamandil near Olhão, that the Algarve’s skilled marnotos — traditional salt workers — harvest this \u003cstrong\u003eFine Traditional Organic Sea Salt\u003c\/strong\u003e by hand. The work of the marnoto is a time-honoured profession passed down through generations, requiring experience, patience and a close understanding of the tides, weather and evaporation process. Using simple traditional tools and no industrial machinery, they carefully collect the salt crystals exactly as their ancestors once did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUnlike coarse sea salt commonly used as a finishing salt, this variety is specially prepared for everyday cooking. After the natural crystals are harvested, they are gently dried and finely milled to create a smooth, versatile texture that dissolves easily and distributes flavour evenly throughout dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe result is a \u003cstrong\u003e100% natural\u003c\/strong\u003e, unrefined sea salt, free from chemical additives or artificial processing. Produced using only seawater, sun and wind, it retains valuable trace minerals from the Atlantic Ocean and delivers a clean, balanced flavour with authentic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn the kitchen, this fine sea salt is a true everyday essential — perfect for seasoning vegetables, soups, sauces, pasta, meat, fish and homemade bread. Its fine texture makes it especially practical for cooking and baking, blending effortlessly into recipes while enhancing natural flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHarvested within the protected coastal ecosystem of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, this sea salt reflects both the natural purity of the Algarve and Portugal’s rich heritage of artisanal salt-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhether for simple home cooking or special meals shared with family and friends, this traditional sea salt brings the taste and tradition of the Atlantic coast directly to your kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGPSR – Product Safety Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Necton – Companhia Portuguesa de Culturas Marinhas, SA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAddress\u003c\/strong\u003e: Belamandil, 8700-172 Olhão (Algarve), Portugal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhone\u003c\/strong\u003e: +351 289 703 961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmail\u003c\/strong\u003e: info@necton.pt\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Algarve Oranges","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59749262229838,"sku":"NFINSAL400","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/4980\/6670\/files\/necton_large_salt.jpg?v=1779805586","url":"https:\/\/www.algarveoranges.com\/products\/necton-fine-traditional-organic-sea-salt-400-g","provider":"Algarve Oranges","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
