From Ocean to Crystal
Natural sea salt harvested through ancient solar evaporation — a patient, sun-powered process spanning up to two years in a pristine Pacific lagoon.
Pure Sea Water
Clean ocean water is drawn directly from the sea at a natural salinity of 4° Bé — untreated, unmodified, and entirely natural.
4° Bé inlet
Solar Evaporation
Water moves through 13 consecutive ponds, slowly concentrating under the open sun. No artificial heat — the process takes 8 to 10 months.
13 ponds · 8–10 months
26° Bé Concentration
Brine reaches the ideal concentration point — dense, mineral-rich, and ready to crystallize. Sodium chloride precipitates first at this precise threshold.
26° Bé target
Crystallization
Across 70 dedicated crystallization ponds, pure salt crystals form slowly on the pond floor over approximately six months — unhurried, natural, solar-driven.
70 ponds · 6 months · NaCl
Final Evaporation
Remaining liquid continues evaporating under the sun, separating residual minerals into distinct streams for the final stage.
Solar energy only
Salt Harvest
Heavy machinery scrapes and collects crystallized salt from the pond floor. Guerrero Negro produces approximately 8 million tons of salt per year — one of the world's largest operations.
8M tons/year
Washing System
Salt passes through an industrial washing system on a conveyor belt, removing impurities such as sulfates, calcium, and magnesium — leaving the cleanest possible product.
Sulfates · Calcium · Mg removed
Hydro Pressure Wash
Salt is transported to washing tubs where high-pressure brine jets deliver a final deep-cleaning stage, ensuring the purest product possible before packaging.
