In this episode, Emily and Oliver discuss the procedure of collecting natural sea salt in Greece, as seen in a video from the MagiacookTv channel. Pure sea salt is a natural treasure on our table. Essential to human and animal life, its first and perhaps most essential contribution to human civilization relates to its use in food preservation.
The process, truly magical, starts from the cavities in the rocks, where the seawater is naturally trapped.
With the power of the sun, the salt crystals are formed. This pure salt is collected and spread on linen cloths to dry naturally in the sun. This process not only removes moisture, but also preserves all the precious minerals that give salt its distinctive taste.
The final product is a high-quality salt, with a rich flavor, ideal for gourmet dishes. It is worth noting that this whole process is not just a production process. It highlights the tradition and love for a simple, but such an important product.
Salt, like wine, acquires a special connection with its place. A valuable commodity used as currency and a symbol of wealth and power in various cultures, such as the Roman Empire and the Greek city-states.
Since ancient times it has been a symbol of purity, sanctity, blessing and hospitality.
In Greece it is a symbol of friendship and solidarity. Phrases like "we ate bread and salt" and "even if we said something more, water and salt" are based on these symbols.
