L'oro bianco di Cervia (2020)

The history of Cervia is inextricably linked to salt. Salt is life, the white gold of our civilization for centuries. Cervia is the northernmost salt pan in Italy and covers approximately 827 hectares. Observing expert workers, we go through the various stages of salt processing, from 'cavadura' to washing, after which the product is ready to be sold on the market: the sweet salt of Cervia. The techniques used are those of craftsmen who follow a solid tradition that has its roots in the past and which, using modern support machinery, guarantees the constant excellence of the product. The basins are immersed in a vast natural area protected by the Emilia Romagna region. We will discover the daily work that Salina di Cervia Park does to preserve the ecosystem.
