Salt and Pepper Cheese (0.5kg)

Salt of the Templars – Salt Cheese from Rio Maior 

Salt cheese is a traditional product used as a table salt shaker. To do this, gently scrape the salt crystals over the food. 

One of the features most sea-loving aspect of this mountainous region is the ease with which rainwater penetrates through the rock faults calearia, thus preventing the presence visible watercourses that hide, becoming underground. Some of these watercourses become salty as they pass through the rock salt deposit. 

This deposit occupies approximately the area of Portuguese Estremadura, between Leiria and Torres Vedras, and was formed over millions of years. 

The Salinas de Rio Maior are the result of a whim of Nature. A salt mine from a saline spring, extensive and deep, crossed by an underground current, feeds a well from which water seven times saltier than that of the Ocean is extracted Atlantic.The oldest document that know dates back to 1177, but it is thought that the use of rock salt dates back to prehistoric times.
