Academia Barilla’s Natural Sea Salts are hand harvested in Trapani, Sicily, world famous natural reserve saltpans because of the purity of their salt and their ideal protected location away from pollution. Unlike traditional salts, Academia Barilla’s Natural Sea Salt contains naturally occurring, healthy minerals and, as a result, boasts lower sodium content, natural iodine and magnesium, which are essential to human health.

Academia Barilla’s Natural Sea Salts are hand blended using only fresh ingredients,
unlike many other salts that contain dehydrated ingredients, which allows for a more intense flavor and freshness to any dish. Due to these attributes and the consistent care and attention through the harvesting, only a small amount is needed to refresh any plate. The harvesting is done with extreme care, so that the salt doesn’t become dirty in the process; it is directly packed without any processing and because of this, the product keeps some marine blended moisture.
