Maras salt, also known as Peruvian pink salt, Andean salt, or Inca salt, is a 100% natural salt, rich in minerals, harvested from the ancient Andean salt ponds of Maras, located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas near Cusco, Peru. At an altitude of over 3,000 metres and nearly 400 km from the ocean, this exceptional salt comes from a subterranean saltwater spring that rises to the surface of the Peruvian mountains and flows into thousands of terraced ponds. This process, over 600 years old, captures the purity of the saltwater, free from contaminants, offering a salt with a mystical taste imbued with tradition.

.

Once the water evaporates in the sun, the pink-tinged Maras salt crystals are harvested by hand by local communities, perpetuating an artisanal and environmentally friendly method. This spring salt production reflects the untouched beauty of the Andes and the ancestral knowledge of the people of Maras.

.

Maras salt is particularly appreciated in global gastronomy and recommended by top Peruvian chefs for its gentle, complex flavour that enhances dishes without overpowering them. Its richness in minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc gives it unique nutritional qualities, making it a prized choice in fine cuisine.

.

In addition to its taste and health benefits, Maras salt is also valued for its cultural significance and Inca heritage. Harvested according to millennia-old practices passed down from generation to generation, Maras pink salt continues to captivate with its beauty and authenticity, reflecting the living heritage of the Peruvian mountains.
