MILENIA is a salt Stone which lies within the heart of Spanish South‐East mountains known as “Sierra del Carche”. This salt was deposited in the depth of the ancient Tethys Sea and it has been kept untouched for millions of years free from pollution and contamination. This salt is now taken back to us using a clean and respectful extracting process, so that you can enjoy the real time flavor on your dishes.”
