Natural,
hand-harvested, unrefined artisan sea salt is
commonly referred to as "Celtic" salt
in North America regardless of the brand name.
Simply put, the
adjective "celtic" (as in Celtic culture)
describes hand-harvested, organically hand-produced artisan salts from
ancient traditional salt flats such as the traditional salt flats of Algarve, Portugal. These traditional hand harvested salts are completely different in nutritional quality
and taste than industrial machine harvested refined sea salt. Since at least as early as
1990, the natural foods trade in Canada has been using the term celtic
salt to describe unrefined natural sea salts such as those traditionally hand-harvested and organically produced by artisan
salt farmers in the age-old traditional celtic
manner developed by celtic peoples. The
same traditional sea salt harvesting methods are used today by
"marnotos" (portuguese paludiers, salt farmers) in the ancient salt flats of the Algarve
region of Portugal. Portuguese Celtic Salt: from Algarve, Portugal MARISOL® SAL TRADICIONAL FROM ALGARVE, PORTUGAL: 1Kg.(2.2 lb.) or 10 Kgs. (22 lbs.)
