Flor de Sal d'es Trenc
Flor de Sal d'Es Trenc, the white gold of Mallorca, is the absolute premium product of our salinas. It is the result of the evaporation of the sea water, which crystallises into fine flowers on the surface of the salt ponds during the summer months. Traditionally harvested by hand, the special properties of the salt flower remain untouched, resulting in a product of exceptional quality.
To obtain the coveted Flor de Sal from Mallorca in its unique quality, special climatic and biological conditions are required. Before the seawater enters the salt pans, it flows through large beds of Posidonia oceanica. The presence of the marine plants is considered an indicator of the excellent quality of the water. After entering the salt flats, the natural salt takes a total of six months to mature into Mallorca's white gold. The crystal clear sea water, which contains 35 grams of salt per litre, flows through a three-kilometre channel from the depths of the sea into the salt flats. Once there, the sun and wind evaporate the water to a salt content of up to 250g/l. When all conditions are met, very fine salt crystals accumulate on the surface of the water in the salt pools for a few minutes every day from May to October, their fanciful shapes resembling white flowers.
Flor de Sal d'Es Trencis harvested exclusively by hand. The salt workers of the Salinas d'Es Trenc use traditional rakes to scoop the salt flower from the water surface and then dry it under the Mediterranean sun. The production and packaging of Flor de Sal d'Es Trenc is also done by hand directly in our salt pans.
Flor de Sal d'Es Trenc is one of the highest quality sea salts and has become an indispensable ingredient in the kitchen for many amateur and professional chefs. Our brand ambassador and star chef Nelson Müller was also allowed to experience the harvest live in our salinas and was thrilled.
"I got to know a nature reserve
where I was able to experience the cycle of salt from its beginning from the sea to its completion." -Nelson Mueller, celebrity chef
When tasting, one experiences the crisp and delicate texture as well as the soft, salty taste of the crystals. Their special properties come into their own even more when used to enhance dishes after cooking. However, Flor de Sal d'Es Trenc is also perfect for any food preparation.
But we have more in common with the famous star chef than just our love of cooking. "The topic of sustainability and transparency of products towards the guest is more important than ever," Nelson Müller emphasizes again and again. In addition, there are the taste and nutritional properties of our salts, which can contribute to celebrating pleasure and doing something good for oneself, not only in top gastronomy but also in the home kitchen.
The special thing about this sea salt are its qualities as a pure natural product. Clear sea water is the starting point. It is very clean due to the geographical location and the Flor de Sal obtained from it is simply unique because it crystallizes on the water surfaces and is then skimmed off by hand.
