Sacred Valley Salt is collected in Peru's Sacred Valley of the Incas just as it as been for the past millenium - by hand. Every pouch of Sacred Valley Salt is made by local, Peruvian-owned and operated cooperatives and independent small businesses. The salt is completely unprocessed.
Thanks to its unique composition of other trace minerals, salt from Maras is often described as 'vivid, but not too harsh', with citrus notes. It's unique flavor has earned international acclaim.
Other than cleaning away sediment and impurities by hand, this salt comes to you unaltered. Unlike sea salt, it comes from an underground spring, protecting it from contamination by microplastics.
The salt at Maras is harvested completely through gravity, sun, and handpower. The landscape is not impacted, the pools the salt brine flow into predate the Inca civilization.
Sacred Valley Salt gives local people their fair share of the benefits from their unique resource. See our interactive diagram that explains why it's actually better than Fair Trade.
Not only is the bag reusable, pretty cool-looking, and downright handy, it also helps out local Sacred Valley small businesses and people at a disadvantage. Get to know some of them.
No exaggerated or outright false claims about health benefits, no scare tactics about other salt, nothing about "energy". Just really good salt that's environmentally and socially responsible, without any hype.
