Bad Reichenhaller AlpenSalz

Bad Reichenhaller is Germany's most famous brand of salt, known for its iconic blue packaging and diamond logo. The product depicted is the brand's signature AlpenSalz, an evaporated salt (Siedesalz) extracted from the brine of the Alps in the Bad Reichenhall region of Bavaria. The history of the brand is deeply tied to the salt-making tradition of the Reichenhall Salt Works, which dates back centuries.

Today, the brand is managed by Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke AG, a prominent European salt producer. The salt is sourced locally from the depths of the Alpine mountains, where ancient salt deposits are dissolved in pure spring water to create brine, which is then crystallized. This process ensures a high-purity product that is a staple in German households. The brand remains committed to its regional roots, with its headquarters and primary production facilities still located in Heilbronn and Bad Reichenhall, Germany.
