1. What is Cheonilyeom?

We call Cheonilyeom ‘Bay Salt, or Solar Salt’ in English, and it is a kind of salt dried in the sunshine with the natural wind and the direct sunlight. And this salt is classified as a different kind of thing from Rock Salt, fossilized seawater, or Refined Salt, pure Sodium Chloride (NACL) extracted from seawater through electrolysis.

Generally, we think that Salt is only salty, but Cheonilyeom has not only salty taste but also deep sweet taste, so most of world's prominent cooks never use Refined Salt, but only Solar Salt when they cook.

2. What's the difference between French Guerande and KoreanCheonilyeom?

Every year, the total output of Solar Salt in the world is about 440,000tons, and Solar Salt is mostly produced in France, Portugal, China, Vietnam, Japan and Korea etc., and especially in Korea, about 280,000tons in the west and south coast. Most goods are usually classified as a good or bad one by a result of marketing, but when we see the kalium(potassium) content in various kinds of salt, which makes our body excrete easily Sodium Chloride which causes illness like diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure in the following table, we can see the classified results are not always right. Please look at the following table.

Korea Bay Salt

Sodium Chloride : 1,429 (mg/kg),

Calcium(Ca): 3,067(mg/kg), >> 3 times

Kalium(K) : 3,067(mg/kg), >> 3 times

Magnesium(Mg) : 9,797(mg/kg) >> 3 times

France Bay Salt

Sodium Chloride : 1,493(mg/kg)

Calcium(Ca) : 1,073(mg/kg)

Kalium(K) : 1,073(mg/kg)

Magnesium(Mg) : 3,975(mg/kg)

3. The manufacturing Process of Korean Cheonilyeom, its Various Certifications, and its Features Shinan-gun, an insular district of Korea is located in Jeolla-do province that has been blessed by heaven with a wonderful natural environmental condition to make good Solar Salt, and it has abundant amount of sunshine, the very clean environment selected as a UNESCO's Biosphere Conservation Area, and the Seawater which has higher salinity than that of East Sea of Korea, so 80% of local total output of Solar Salt has been produced in this district since the Period of Japanese Occupancy.

Some domestic leading food makers produce Cheonilyeom(Solar Salt), and there are about 900 salt farms in this area. In 2006, Paulo Saturnino who is the founder of Slow city and a jury of World Slow City raved about this area, saying, "This is a place God kissed". And the consuming public in Korea have better reliability of foods with Cheonilyeom(Solar Salt) from this area.

It takes fully 25 days to make Cheonilyeom once, and the makers work from April to October every year.

C. After evaporating for a period of time, we send the seawater to the second evaporating pond.

D. We send the evaporated salty water to the crystaling yard.

E. When it rains, we keep the salty water in the storehouses(salinity is about 23^o).

F. We reap the Salt classifying Grey Salt made on the ground and White Salt made on the laminated paper(when compared with White Salt, the total yield of Grey Salt is about 1/3 of it, and the price of Grey Salt is 5 times more expensive than that of White One.).

G. We put the Salt in the Ton Bags, and hang the Bags in the storages for 6 months to ripen the Salt in it.
