PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES
THE AGRICULTURAL METHOD FOR SEA SALT

Salt is obtained naturally by extraction from the subsoil or from seawater. Salins is the only European group to implement the 3 existing production technologies.
The brine, generally of marine origin, is concentrated by evaporation under the effect of the sun and wind in salt marshes.
Pumped from the sea, the water circulates either by simple gravity or by means of pumps, successively crossing developed ponds. It travels a long way before arriving, in the form of saturated brine, thanks to the effect of natural evaporation (sun and wind), at the salt tables on which the salt crystallizes and is deposited.

THE THERMAL PROCESS FOR IGNEOUS OR IGNIGENOUS SALT

Underground salt deposits, formed by the deposits of ancient seas, are dissolved by injecting fresh water. The brine (highly concentrated salt water) thus obtained is brought to the surface to be evaporated under vacuum, in large evaporators, at the bottom of which the salt crystallizes.

MINING TECHNIQUE FOR ROCK SALT

So-called "rock" salt is extracted from underground salt mines in the form of blocks. The origin of these mines goes back thousands of years, when oceans evaporated, creating layers of salt that can be up to several meters thick.
