Yucatán is the birthplace of a unique cuisine. It stands apart from the rest of México due to its Caribbean and European influences, yet it also distinguishes itself from the Caribbean with its strong Maya roots. Regardless, its flavors, ingredients, and preparations have crossed borders, captivating palates not just in México, but around the world.
Sal Sol, La Sal del Mar (the salt of the sea), is one of those quintessential Yucatecan flavors that has won global affection. As an essential ingredient in both Yucatecan and Mexican cuisine and mixology, Sal Sol today represents tradition, creativity, and regional origin.
Harvested with care and patience in Las Coloradas, Yucatán, this sea salt becomes the perfect partner not only for chefs but also for bartenders and mixologists looking to highlight authentic flavor. Every grain holds the purity of the sea, the wind, and the sun—elements that make its Yucatecan origin unique.
With 79 years of honoring the purity of the sea, Sal Sol keeps an ancestral craft alive, ensuring the care, conservation, and equilibrium of its home: Las Coloradas, Yucatán. Each grain reflects not only flavor but also a deep commitment to sustainability and the continuity of a tradition passed down through generations.
In collaboration with more than 385 restaurants and bars across México, Sal Sol has traveled from kitchens to the most recognized bars, inspiring the creation of experiences that taste of the sea, the land, and tradition.
From outstanding Yucatecan culinary hubs—such as Mérida, Maní, Valladolid, and Teya—to major cities across México—including México City, Puebla, Monterrey, Cancún, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Campeche—this sea salt has accompanied culinary creatives who re-interpret flavor with both respect and freshness.
Establishments like Murciégalo, Micaela Mar y Leña, Habibi, José Rosé, or Pancho Maíz in Mérida; Don Diablo and Mestizo in Valladolid; Kiosko Verde and Autóctona in Cancún; Anafre in Playa del Carmen; Italdo in Tulum; Las Cemitas As de Oro and La Berenjena in Puebla; or Vidanta Resorts across major Mexican ports, just to name a few, have become ambassadors of an experience that is not only tasted but lived.
Because every dish or drink featuring Sal Sol, La Sal del Mar, is a wave of origin and flavor, connecting us to what is natural, authentic, and unifying: the richness of the sea and the land of México.
