Natural salt deposits were highly prized treasures in ancestral times. Salt was harvested using traditional, artisanal methods that required a deep knowledge of the land and the transformative power of fire. As a result, salt became one of the cornerstones of the local economy and reflected a profound connection to the natural world.
