Description: |
|
Salt farming in Kusamba, Bali is a centuries-old tradition where
farmers use traditional technique to produce 100% natural salt
by sun and wind evaporation. Located on a volcanic black-sand
beach in East Bali, Kusamba is about an hour’s drive east from
Sanur. The village earned its reputation as a traditional
fishing village and natural salt production in Bali. Despite the
intensive process of sea salt making, Kusamba’s salt farmers
live in modest huts on the beach with shiny-black and
mineral-rich sand. There are about 30 group of local people who
earn their livings as salt farmers in Kusamba.
The salt
farming process in Kusamba is a unique thing yet time consuming.
Every morning the salt farmers make their way to and from the
ocean with buckets on bamboo poles over their shoulders. They
gather seawater and poured it over the raked sand in a rhythmic
motion. The mid-day tropical sun bakes the sand into flakes and
the salt is ready to be harvested by late afternoon. The farmers
take the flakes to the salt making hut where more sea water is
added to leech the salt over several days. The resulting brine
is placed in long trough for further evaporation, leaving pure
fleur de sel (flower of salt) with sweet notes, a dash of which
is guaranteed to bring out the best in any dish -and due to its
moisture content, the salt won't dissolve right away, allowing
the taste to linger in our mouth. |
