Salt, a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride, is a staple in kitchens worldwide, prized for its flavor-enhancing properties and preservative qualities. However, one question that often arises among consumers is about the shelf-life of salt – how long does it actually last? At Mayi Salt, we understand the importance of providing not only high-quality natural salt sourced from the pristine landscapes of Turkey but also of educating our customers on the best ways to store and use our products.
The good news for salt enthusiasts is that salt, by its very nature, is an incredibly durable substance that does not expire in the conventional sense. This is due to its inherent ability to resist bacterial growth and the fact that its chemical makeup is not prone to change over time. Pure salt, like the premium varieties offered at Mayi Salt, remains stable and can be considered to have an indefinite shelf-life when stored under proper conditions — away from moisture and in an airtight container to prevent clumping. While the question of salt's longevity might be out of concern for some consumers, we at Mayi Salt take pride in providing our customers with time-honored techniques and packaging that ensure your seasonings retain their optimal texture and taste from the moment they're harvested to each flavorful sprinkle on your plate.
