Aruba's Salt Heritage
Long before modern roads and resorts transformed the island, Aruba's natural salinas played an important role in everyday life. Scattered along the coastline and across the island's low-lying landscapes, these shallow salt ponds provided local communities with one of nature's most valuable resources.

THE SALT
Our salt is unrefined, crunchy sea salt, crafted entirely by hand in small batches from the caribbean ocean. Our traditional process, utilizing open-air salt pans, is entirely natural requiring only the sea, wind, sun, and patience. We evaporate fresh, clean, filtered seawater outdoors under the sun and bathed by ocean breezes. Unlike most other saltmakers, we do not boil or oven-dry seawater, nor trap the forming crystals in a factory building or greenhouse. We use no anti-caking agents, bleaching additives, or other chemical additions. We proudly and painstakingly craft our products to our exacting standards without cutting corners.
By carefully balancing solar evaporation and exposure to crisp, clean ocean breezes, seawater slowly forms into brilliant white salt crystals with a mild, briny flavor and a soft, distinctive, wonderfully pleasing crunch. Our salts are known for their “sweet” and clean flavor, with no aftertaste or the chemical, metallic, or medicinal notes commonly found in table salt, kosher salt, and most factory-finished or boiled salts. Our hand-cultivated, Aruban-made salt is slightly moist and moderately coarse. It’s valued for its briny sweet taste of the Caribbean Sea, for its pleasingly distinct texture (not too hard and not too soft), and for its beautiful square shape, size, and color.
