This It is considered a mineral salt and both its production and distribution are part of the history of the town. where it is produced, Jumilla. For them, it is their "natural gem", a white jewel characterized by being clean, pure salt, without contaminants and of the highest quality.

Recipes with Jumsal salt
Yes now, How about we give you applications of this type of salt in your daily life? Below we propose a series of recipes that are great for making your menus. And if you also add this ingredient, the flavor will surely be very different from what they had when using another type.
- Large sea bass.
- Coarse Jumsal salt.
- Water.
- The first thing you should do is turn on the oven to preheat it to 200 degrees or so.
- Now, take a bowl and create a base with the coarse Jumsal salt. This way you will prevent the fish from sticking. Be generous when you add it because if you cover it completely with salt it will retain a better flavor (it will come out juicier).
- Next, put the fish (sea bass or sea bream). A little trick that we will reveal to you is to first run it through the water tap. This way, when it is wet, the salt will adhere better.
- The next step is to cover it with salt. Of course, leave the head and tail free because they will be the ones that will help you know if it is ready.
- Put it in the oven and wait about 20-50 minutes. Everything will depend on the weight of the fish. If it is a kilo, 20 minutes will be enough. If it is a kilo and a half, leave it for 25 minutes at most. For 2 kilos, 30-35 minutes. And so.
- When you see that the tail appears rather tanned, and that the eyes seem to have dried out or lost their shine, it will be time to take it out.
- The salt will have turned into a crust, so you will have to use a knife or similar to break it little by little and release the sea bass, which will be very tasty because it will have been cooked in its juice.
- One kilo of pork loin.
- Jumsal coarse salt.
- Accompanying sauce: mayonnaise, mustard…
- Start by selecting a microwave-safe mold. Next, you will have to put a base of coarse salt that covers the bottom.
- On top you should put the loin. We recommend that it be an uncut piece so that it retains its flavor). You can soak it in water first to help the salt stick and thus covering it will be easier.
- Now you should cover the meat completely. He tries to squeeze it a little to form a kind of shell so that it doesn't fall when he moves it.
- Put it in the microwave and turn it to maximum, with the grill option if you have it, and for about 20 minutes. Even so, we recommend that you check because each microwave is different.
- Once you see it toasted it will be time to take it out. Start removing the salt and remove the tenderloin from the source to remove all the salt it has.
- Cut into slices. We recommend that they be rather thin because the flavor will be much better, but the thickness is up to your taste.
- Serve with a sauce and enjoy. Another option is to add some Jumsal salt flakes to give it an extra touch (don't worry, it won't taste too salty).
- 2 cups of whipping cream.
- 1 can of condensed milk.
- Half a cup of honey.
- Half a teaspoon of Jumsal salt (fine).
- A handful of salt flakes.
- Start by pouring the whipping cream into a bowl and use a mixer to help it look creamy.
- Little by little, add the condensed milk and part of the honey. Also add the salt.
- Once you have it, transfer it to a mold that you can freeze. And before you cover it and put it in the freezer, pour a tablespoon of honey on top. You will have to wait at least six hours for it to freeze well, although we recommend twelve hours.
- When serving, serve in bowls and decorate with honey and a few flakes of salt.
