At Sal Ancestral, we believe that quality is not just a detail, but the foundation of every gastronomic experience. It's not just salt: it's the result of an artisanal process, hand-harvested from natural springs, respecting traditional methods that preserve its purity and mineral richness.
Each grain contains the history of centuries of tradition, an authentic flavor, and a unique texture that transforms any dish into an exceptional experience.
Jose Gordon, from Bodega El Capricho , expresses it clearly: “The texture and flavor of Ancestral allows us to enhance the essence of our meats without masking their authenticity, providing a perfect balance in every bite.”
Benefits of our salt
Beyond its exceptional flavor, Ancestral Spring Salt offers unique benefits:
-
Microplastic-free: Our salt is obtained directly from protected springs, ensuring a pure and natural product.
-
Rich in essential minerals: contains trace elements beneficial to the body such as magnesium, potassium and calcium.
-
Handcrafted: it retains its natural structure and texture, something that industrial salts do not offer.
-
Balanced flavor: enhances dishes without overpowering the original flavors.
For Oswaldo González of Los 33 , this balance is key: “I really like it because it respects the product. It doesn't overpower it, but rather complements and enhances the flavor. It allows the products to stand out as much as possible, without masking or spoiling what we work so hard to achieve.”
A salt that respects the chef's philosophy
In our philosophy, every ingredient counts. It's not just about seasoning, but about adding value to the dish. That's why many renowned chefs choose our salt as their ally in the kitchen.
Patxi Zumarraga, from Haramboure , explains it this way: “With Ancestral Spring Salt I enhance garden produce, stews and grilled dishes, I season fruits with its brines and even add a touch of flavor to coffee pastries. It's wonderful.”
Our salt brings subtlety and strength at the same time: it enhances authenticity without disguising it.
Each grain of Ancestral salt reflects dedication and respect for the raw material. For Carlos Pérez, of Latxaska Etxea , it is an essential product: “Ancestral salt is a natural product, full of personality and tradition, that adds a unique touch and creates an explosion of flavor in every dish.”
This purity not only enhances the gastronomic experience, but also has a positive impact on health, offering essential minerals and avoiding additives or contaminants.
In the kitchen, the little details make all the difference. Sara Aznar and Nacho Ventosa, from Los 33 , sum it up perfectly: “Every detail counts when it comes to achieving excellence. Although it might go unnoticed, the quality and quantity of salt make all the difference. Ancestral is the choice that fits with our philosophy.”
That's why our salt is not just a condiment, but a declaration of commitment to quality, health and tradition.
Ancient Spring Salt: more than salt
It's the culmination of an artisanal process, a tribute to authentic flavor, and an essential tool for chefs and cooking enthusiasts who seek to elevate every dish. Free of microplastics, rich in minerals, and handcrafted, our salt transforms cooking into a memorable experience, dish by dish.
