Cristalli di Sale al Tartufo 150g

Crystal salt was considered a valuable gem for a long time and was therefore also called "white gold". There is hardly a foodstuff that has influenced human history as much as salt. In earlier times, people settled where there was salt and water. From 800 BC the salt trade expanded. In the course of time, long salt trade routes developed throughout Europe, but also in Asia and Africa. Salt created wealth. Up until the Middle Ages, salt was used as a means of payment and was even often the subject of armed conflicts. It retained its great importance as an exchange good until the time of industrialization, i.e. until the middle of the 19th century.
