Our deposit, the purest salt
The “Kłodawa” Salt Mine mines the high-purity Zechstein diapir-type deposit of rock salt with a natural white colour with a gray or pink shade.The Kłodawa salt diapir is 26 km long and it has a maximum width of 2 km. It is the largest one in Poland.
Mining is carried out using the traditional mining method, which allows to fully preserve the natural values of our salt created by nature. The final products are obtained by means of mechanical processing, i.e. by crushing, milling, sorting without the use of chemical treatments.
Our final product contains an average of 97% pure NaCl and a number of natural microelements that increase its value as a food salt, and due to their low content, do not adversely affect its use as an industrial salt.
