In the vast expanse of the world's oceans lies a hidden treasure—a crystalline gem forged by the sun, wind, and waves over eons.  

History, Purity and Essence

The story of sea salt is as old as the oceans themselves, dating back to ancient civilizations that recognized its value and abundance. From the shores of the Mediterranean to the remote islands of the Pacific, salt has played a vital role in human history, serving as currency, preserving food, and seasoning dishes.

The creation of sea salt begins with the gentle embrace of the ocean, where seawater is collected and allowed to evaporate under the sun's warm gaze. As the water recedes, delicate salt crystals form, capturing the essence of the sea in their sparkling embrace.

Once the water has evaporated completely, the salt crystals are carefully harvested by skilled artisans, who sift and sort them to ensure purity and quality. Depending on the region and production methods, sea salt may vary in color, texture, and flavor, reflecting the unique characteristics of its origin

Sea Salt’s Palate

Sea salt's flavors are as diverse and nuanced as the oceans themselves, offering a spectrum of tastes ranging from delicate and briny to bold and mineral rich. The unique composition of sea salt, which contains trace minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium, imbues it with a complexity and depth of flavor that elevates Ysidro  to new heights.

From the delicate flakes of Maldon sea salt to the vibrant hues of Hawaiian black lava salt, each variety of sea salt offers a sensory journey that tantalizes the taste buds and enlivens the palate. 

 Sea salt adds balance,  elegance and sophistication to Ysidro.

The Health Benefits of Sea Salt

While often prized for its flavor-enhancing properties, sea salt also boasts a range of surprising health benefits that make it a valuable addition to a balanced diet:

• Rich in Minerals: Unlike refined table salt, which is stripped of its natural minerals during processing, sea salt retains trace minerals  (magnesium, potassium, and calcium) which are essential for optimal health and well-being.
• Electrolyte Balance: Sea salt contains electrolytes 
•  which play a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, muscle function, and nerve transmission in the body.
• Digestive Health: The minerals found in sea salt may help support digestive health by promoting proper pH balance and enhancing nutrient absorption.

Sea salt’s purity, natural production methods and above all incredible taste make it the ideal ingredient for Ysidro helping to magnify Ysidro’s already abundant flavors and creating the mouth watering drinkability that keeps people coming back for more.
