Vatel Sea Salt

Vatel is an iconic Portuguese brand founded in 1915, deeply associated with the production of high-quality salt. The product shown, 'Sal Marinho - O melhor do Algarve', highlights its regional sourcing from the salt pans of the Algarve region in southern Portugal. Under the motto 'Marca Portuguesa', it emphasizes its national identity and traditional harvesting methods.

While founded as an independent Portuguese entity, the brand is currently owned by the Salins Group (Compagnie des Salins du Midi et des Salines de l'Est), a major French salt producer. Despite this international ownership, Vatel maintains its strong local presence and manufacturing facilities in Portugal, specifically through its subsidiary Vatel - Companhia de Produtos Alimentares, S.A., ensuring that the salt remains a staple of Portuguese kitchens.
