- Slowing down and stopping timeLaguardia — Orduña
Description
The 'Salt Valley + Tasting' experience combines a visit to the Valle Salado de Añana, in Salinas de Añana (Salinas de Añana), with a guided salt tasting session. The first part takes in the site itself: its ancient saltworks, the restoration process and current production. The second part is a tasting guided by a methodology developed by the Sensory Analysis Laboratory of the University of the Basque Country (LASEHU), which evaluates the appearance and olfactory-gustatory qualities of the four Sal de Añana varieties: Mineral Salt, Flor de Sal, Liquid Salt and Chuzo. The session also includes an analysis of Mineral Salt varieties combined with cayenne, garlic, Provençal herbs and wine. Sal de Añana is valued by leading chefs, who use it in their kitchens and promote it worldwide. The activity lasts approximately an hour and a half, requires advance booking and is available year-round.
