Why We only use Xwejni Sea Salt

A Natural, Maltese Ingredient

The Xwejni salt pans have been worked for generations. Seawater collects in shallow limestone pools and dries slowly under the Maltese sun, leaving behind clean, mineral-rich salt. No additives, no processing, just sea, stone, and time.

Perfect for Curing

For Max, choosing Xwejni salt was straightforward. Its mineral balance supports a steady, consistent cure, helping develop flavour without overpowering the meat. It lets the quality of the pork and the craft behind each cut speak for itself.

Staying Rooted in Local Tradition

Using Xwejni salt allows us to support an important Maltese tradition while keeping our ingredients close to home. It’s a small detail with a big impact on the character of our salami, pancetta, guanciale, and coppa.
