Did you know that marine saltworks are key habitats for many migratory birds? 🐦

Along their journeys, numerous species rely on these wetlands to rest, feed and find shelter before continuing their migration.
Beyond their role in sea salt production, marine saltworks also contribute to the preservation of valuable coastal ecosystems, where human activity and biodiversity coexist.

On World Migratory Bird Day, SeaSalt Europe highlights the importance of protecting these unique landscapes and the birdlife they support. 🌿

We're delighted to welcome ESSA – Exportadora de Sal to SEASALT Europe! 🎉

Based in Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur, and operating within the El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve, ESSA has been producing solar sea salt since 1954 — and today runs the largest saltworks in the world, spanning roughly 33,000 hectares. From Mexico, its salt reaches ports across Asia and the Americas.

A great example of how sea salt production connects producers across continents, all sharing the same natural process: sun, wind and seawater.

On EU Organic Day, we celebrate a commitment to production that respects natural resources, ecosystems and the knowledge behind every product.
For European sea salt, the Euroleaf is more than a symbol. It represents the recognition of sea salt within the EU organic framework and the work of producers whose activity is deeply connected to the sea, the sun, the wind and the unique ecosystems of our saltworks. At SEASALT Europe, we continue working to protect this recognition and ensure that organic sea salt has the place it deserves in Europe’s organic future.

What is iodized salt, and why is iodine added to salt? 🧂

In our latest article, we take a closer look at iodized salt: what it is, why iodization was introduced, how it is produced, and what role it plays in food and public health.

We also explore how iodization relates to sea salt and why understanding the difference between iodized and non-iodized salt is important for both consumers and the salt sector.

Please join us in welcoming Salinas de Tenefé to SEASALT Europe! 🎉

Nestled in Pozo Izquierdo, Gran Canaria, these saltworks have been shaped by sun and wind for more than 250 years, since the late 18th century. Their 386 crystallizer ponds — once fed by traditional windmills, one of which is still standing — produce Flor de Sal, one of the most awarded salts in the Canary Islands.

A living piece of heritage, where salt-making history and Canarian tradition meet.

From the saltworks to the shelf.

Behind every pack of sea salt, there is much more than what we see on the shelf.

There are months of work guided by the sun, wind and sea. There is the knowledge of generations of salt farmers, the careful management of the saltworks, harvesting, processing and preparation before the final product reaches consumers.

Sea salt is the result of a journey where nature, time and human expertise work together.

At SEASALT Europe, we want to bring recognition to every step and every person behind sea salt.

Happy French Fries Day!

There’s one ingredient that turns great fries into unforgettable ones: sea salt.

Through centuries-old traditions, sea salt enhances flavour while reflecting the authenticity, craftsmanship, and natural origins behind every crystal.

At SEASALT Europe, we celebrate the people and the saltworks that make this simple combination a timeless favourite.

Because some classics never go out of style: crispy fries and sea salt.

Summer is the season when many swimming pools rely on salt electrolysis to help keep their water clean, safe and pleasant to use.

By using salt dissolved in the pool water, this system generates disinfecting agents directly and continuously, offering an effective solution for water treatment while reducing the need to handle and store certain traditional chemical products.
It is another example of how sea salt goes far beyond the table, playing an important role in everyday applications linked to health, wellbeing and more responsible resource use.

Sea salt: a natural resource with many possibilities.

Sea salt on the airwaves 🌊🧂

We are pleased to share an audio extract from a recent report broadcast ('Españoles en la mar' - 'Spaniards at Sea') by RTVE, Spain’s national public radio and television corporation.

The feature highlights the value of traditional sea salt production and includes the participation of several SEASALT Europe members from the Bay of Cádiz area, a territory where sea saltworks form part of a unique cultural, environmental and productive landscape.

This kind of media coverage helps bring greater visibility to our sector and to the people working every day to preserve and promote sea salt production across Europe.
