At the end of September, Las Salinas de La Concepción were introduced to various representatives of Menorcan society, as well as to authorities and the media on the island of Menorca.

At the inaugural sessions held in Fornells on 27 and 28 September, Las Salinas de La Concepción presented their comprehensive rehabilitation project, marking a milestone that will allow Menorca to resume salt production from this summer, recovering a trade and a tradition that had been lost.

A diverse group of representatives of Menorcan society linked to gastronomy, local products, culture, heritage and the environment, as well as authorities and the media, were invited to these events.

The Best family, as concessionaire of Ses Salines Nuevas de Fornells, together with the team formed by the architect Dani Gutiérrez, the civil engineer Guillermo Casas and the master salt worker Haddou Ichekhlaf, welcomed the attendees and guided them through the area, showing the meticulous work carried out to recover the activity.

They also detailed the artisanal process of harvesting fleur de sel and virgin sea salt, both products marketed under the brand Salinas de La Concepción, Sal de Menorca.

During the presentation, Laura Ruiz was announced as the new manager of the farm, and it was confirmed that from spring 2024, Las Salinas will be open to the general public with limited guided tours and prior reservation, complying with the conditions of preservation of the natural environment and the operation of the activity itself.

This exciting project is contributing to the cultural and natural rebirth of the island, and we look forward to sharing more details soon.
