100% natural spring salt (Navarra)
In Navarra, in the north of Spain, at the foot of the Urbasa and Andía mountains is the source of our spring and the salt flats where every year we extract the Ancestral spring salt
Our salt flats are unique for different reasons: because of their origin, a sea fossilized 220 million years ago; due to its location, at an altitude of 700 meters in a pre-Pyrenean area; and of course for its 100% artisan production.
Behind the Ancestral spring salt there is a family of salt masters who have been producing pure spring salt in a totally artisanal way for generations, without chemical processes or machines, with their expert hands and their good know-how.
The knowledge and know-how that have been transmitted generation after generation are those that with the help of nature allow us to mold our salt.
For all these reasons, Ancestral spring salt is a unique product in the world, a phenomenon of nature.
Thanks to two key factors, our salt is completely free from any type of contamination such as microplastics and heavy metals. the strategic location of our spring (700m above sea level and away from any industry or polluting source) and the origin of the saline deposits (formed 220 million years ago).

Why our salt is unique:
Free of microplastics and nitrites
Thanks to two key factors, our salt is completely free from any type of contamination: the strategic location of our spring (700m above sea level and away from any industry or polluting source) and the origin of the saline deposits, (formed 220 million years ago).
Free of processed
Our method of work and extraction dates back to Roman times. We have continued his legacy, preserving and respecting it from generation to generation. We continue to use the same technique, the work of man, and both the knowledge acquired and the action of nature are what allow us to obtain such a special salt.
Free of added substances
In order to maintain the essence and purity of our salt, we do not use any added process or technique to improve the final product. We do not add anti-caking agents, nor do we use any dye or bleaching process. Nor do we need to wash it to remove possible pollutants. Our salt reaches the consumer's hands as nature offers it to us.
Pure and rich in trace elements
Due to the time when the deposits that feed our spring were formed (Upper Triassic) and that the final product has not undergone any washing or alteration, our salt is especially rich in more than 84 minerals. Some of the minerals that can be found in higher concentration in Ancestral spring salt are potassium, magnesium, iodine, calcium or manganese, among others.
