Salt has always played and important role in the history of Cervia, it influenced its birth, its architectures, the sweet lands where man and nature have reached ideal harmonies. From this century-old mutual understanding, the typical products of Cervia are born: the sweet salt, the honey from pinewoods, the wines from sand and many others. Within the salt marsh, which is the southern entrance to the Park of Po Delta, the birdlife and flora are of extraordinary beauty and charm, while Camillone salt marsh and the storehouses dating back to the 17th century, where there is the Museum of Salt, are the living proof of the ancient cycle of the salt.
The salt extracted from the thousands years old salt marsh of Cervia is a wholemeal sea salt, gathered and packed according to the traditional method of the Park of Cervia salt marsh.
Neither it is treated with any chemical additive to improve its sprinkling property, nor it is added with chemical iodine, as it is naturally iodate. It is not artificially dried, but simply washed with sea water at high concentration and centrifuged, it keeps its natural humidity (2%), which is typical of non-processed sea salt, so that all the trace elements contained in sea water, as iodine, zinc, copper, manganese, iron, magnesium and potassium, are present.
It is known to be a “sweet salt”, not because it has a lower salinity, but because it contains fewer bitter salts, such as sulphates of magnesium, calcium, potassium and magnesium chloride, i.e. all the substances , most of which insoluble, that give the salt that bitterish aftertaste less palatable.
Salt is necessary for the human body, but it must be used sparingly. Therefore, it is wise to follow the advice: a little bit, but good.
Sodium plays an important role in the balance of organic fluids, in blood pressure regulation, in muscular excitability, in regulating the permeability of membranes and some others important functions as the circulatory, excretory, digestive, endocrine, detoxifying ones. Furthermore, it protects our body from excessive dehydration.
