Real Salt is unrefined and unprocessed, nothing added, nothing removed. The process begins with the salt being removed from the walls of the mine with a stainless steel hydraulic rotary tool. Once the salt has been removed from the wall, it goes into a lined foodgrade truck and up to mill equipment used solely for our Real Salt.

Salt production

 · The salt making process is done by solar evaporation. "In simple terms is like if you get a cup of salt water from the ocean, allow it to be in the sun all day, by the end of the day the water will have evaporated and you will be left with salt crystals in your cup.

History of mining: five of the oldest mines still in operation

Mining salt as a trading commodity did not commence until the Mughal era in the 16 th century, and it wasn't until 1872 that the main tunnel was developed by British mining engineer Dr H Warth, on behalf of the British colonial powers. During the early years of British rule, the salt mine churned out around 28,000t to 30,000t per year of salt.
