Portugal
A timeless visit of flavours and senses
ENQUIRE
The caviar of the poor; on the table it intensifies flavours, in the pantry it preserves the pork, in the field it's.... the salt of every day! The sound of water, the splashing of instruments, the chirping of birds, the work of of the salt workers in their cadenced movements in small salt pans... This is the invitation we extend to you. To share an adventure in a timeless space... where Man has been gathering salt for millennia: The Salt Marshes of Castro Marim. Book Online Now
Jorge will explain why the salt farms are located in the south, their geographical location, the climatic constraints on the production of salt... the four elements essential to salt and life and to be able to go salting.
The harvesting of salt in gentle cadenced movements on late summer afternoons can be the motto for an experience where simplicity establishes the connection to nature, to the salt marsh and to its traditions.
The exclusivity of a tasting with the flavour of the sea, accompanied by a chilled and clear wine, always in the company of the salineiro.
Jorge married into this tradition 12 years ago, effectively becoming part of the second generation to operate his company. But any ambition Raiado had to improve the product encountered a powerful foe. The salt-making process in Castro Marim is a natural one, he explains. “Nature is always wild and does whatever she wants.”
