About Laurie & Pujalt Natural Crystal Salt Fine Smoked
Our Maras salt is the result of the process of natural evaporation from a spring that flows from the mountains that surround the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It is believed that its origin is an ancient ocean that remained trapped millions of years ago in the subsoil more than 3,300 meters above sea level and just a few kilometers from the city of Cusco. This natural ingredient has been harvested on a small scale by the Maras community for centuries, using the same techniques employed by the Incas to obtain a pink, coarse grain of salt, rich in minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium that give it a unique and special flavor. Maras is a town in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, 40 kilometers north of Cusco, in the Cusco Region of Peru. The town is well known for its salt evaporation ponds, located towards Urubamba from the town center, which have been in use since Inca times. The salt-evaporation ponds are down a canyon that descends to the Rio Vilcanota and the Sacred Valley of the Incas. There are over 5,000 salt ponds, owned by families Since pre-Inca times, salt has been obtained in Maras by evaporating salty water from a local subterranean stream. The highly salty water emerges at a spring, a natural outlet of the underground stream. The flow is directed into an intricate system of tiny channels constructed so that the water runs gradually down onto the several hundred ancient terraced ponds. The altitude of the ponds slowly decreases, so that the water may flow through the myriad branches of the water-supply channels and be introduced slowly through a notch in one sidewall of each pond. The proper maintenance of the adjacent feeder channel, the side walls and the water-entry notch, the pond's bottom surface, the quantity of water, and the removal of accumulated salt deposits requires close cooperation among the community of users.
