By the\u0026nbsp;nineteenth century the marshes covered nearly a fifth of the island’s surface, and a thousand sauniers\u0026nbsp;worked them. The decline of artisanal production in the twentieth century, under pressure from\u0026nbsp;industrial salt and rail, was met with an organising response: a Syndicat de vente in 1901; a Comité\u0026nbsp;de défense salicole in 1911; an Association de vente en commun in 1933; and in 1942 the formal founding\u0026nbsp;of the Coopérative des Sauniers de l’Île de Ré, the cooperative that today unites most of the island’s\u0026nbsp;producers across more than four hundred hectares of marsh. In 2023 the island’s salt and Fleur de\u0026nbsp;Sel received IGP status from the European Union. The method has not changed in a thousand years:\u0026nbsp;coarse salt forms at the bottom of the natural clay basins; it is harvested manually with a simoussi,\u0026nbsp;piled into pyramids on the edge of the pond, left to dry, transported for September packaging. No\u0026nbsp;chemical weedkillers, no washing, no leaching, no post-harvest additives, no liners on the basin\u0026nbsp;floors. The grey tint comes from the natural clay and trace minerals absorbed during crystallisation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"zales-and-rego","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57142540665215,"sku":"EP-2205","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/9439\/8847\/files\/sal-grues.png?v=1777969934"},{"product_id":"re-tximitxurri","title":"Ré Tximitxurri","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe name is a portmanteau: Ré for the Île de Ré, the French Atlantic island whose paludier salt\u0026nbsp;tradition feeds this blend; Tximitxurri for the Basque transliteration of the Argentine chimichurri.

Continuous salt extraction has gone on here for more than seven thousand years — from\u0026nbsp;the Neolithic onward; in 902 the monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña was already documented mining\u0026nbsp;salt at the valley, and in 1140 the town of Salinas de Añana was granted a royal charter by King\u0026nbsp;Alfonso VI partly because of the strategic and economic importance of its salt. The geology is the\u0026nbsp;inheritance: the valley sits on a vast subterranean salt deposit left by an ancient sea that disappeared\u0026nbsp;some two hundred million years ago, in the Triassic period. Rainwater percolates through the deep\u0026nbsp;salt and resurfaces as concentrated brine through four natural springs at roughly seven times Atlantic\u0026nbsp;salinity. The brine is channelled by gravity through pinewood aqueducts to hundreds of evaporation\u0026nbsp;terraces of dry stone, wood and clay, where the salt is extracted by sun and wind. No pumping, no\u0026nbsp;electricity. The site is a Bien de Interés Cultural, a UNESCO tentative-list World Heritage candidate,\u0026nbsp;and a FAO Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Atlantic Scales is the flor de sal of the\u0026nbsp;valley — the delicate surface crystals that form on warm, still days, harvested by hand into pyramid-shaped, snow-white grains.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"zales-and-rego","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57456675225983,"sku":"EP-2203","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/9439\/8847\/files\/escamas-atlanticas2.png?v=1777887260"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.zalesrego.com\/en\/collections\/sales.oembed","provider":"Zales \u0026 Rego","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
