Ston’s strategic location, surrounded by a network of canals and channels, made it ideal for salt production. In the past, salt was a valuable commodity, essential for food preservation and a strategic resource for trade and wealth.
This artisanal method, preserved through centuries, contributes to the unique taste and quality of Ston’s salt.
