Zoi’s Afrala — Sun-Kissed Crystals from Zakynthos
Afrala: The Sea’s Cream — Nature’s Purest Salt from Zakynthos
Introducing Afrala, the ultimate gift from the sea. Harvested each summer on the beautiful island of Zakynthos, Greece, Afrala — meaning the sea’s cream — is the freshest, purest expression of natural sea salt.
Our founder, Zoi, returns every year to her homeland to harvest this precious salt by hand with her family. The result? A truly authentic, sun-dried sea salt unlike anything else you’ll find on today’s market.
What makes Afrala different?
Most commercial salts today are kiln-dried, exposed to extreme temperatures between 1,200–1,800°F — similar to how ceramics are fired. This harsh process destroys natural minerals and alters the salt’s structure, making it harder for the body to digest and more likely to raise blood pressure or cause joint swelling.
Afrala, on the other hand, is naturally sun-dried on rock beds and shallow sea pools. The Greek sun gently evaporates the seawater, leaving behind delicate, mineral-rich crystals — nature’s true medicine.
A nutritional powerhouse
Afrala sea salt is rich in:
- Natural iodine (supports thyroid health)
- Magnesium (soothes muscles and supports nerve function)
- Calcium (strengthens bones and aids in cellular function)
- Potassium (balances fluid levels and supports the heart)
- Over 60 trace minerals that help detoxify and nourish your body.
- Because Afrala is unrefined and untouched by heat, your body can metabolize it easily without adverse reactions.
How does it taste?
Afrala tastes sweet and smooth, with a delicate saltiness that enhances every dish without overpowering. Its gentle, rounded flavor means you’ll use less than other salts, making each sprinkle more valuable and impactful.
How to use Afrala sea salt
- Crush it lightly between your fingers, just as you would fresh oregano, to release its aromatic minerality while preparing or finishing dishes.
- Perfect for salads, grilled vegetables, fish, roasted meats, and even desserts to elevate natural sweetness.
- You can use it as a finishing touch right before serving to maintain its beautiful crystalline texture.
How to store
Afrala is pure and free of anti-caking agents or additives. To keep it at its best:
- Store in a glass jar.
- Place a small napkin or parchment piece inside the jar to absorb any natural moisture and prevent clumping.
Why Afrala? Why Zakynthos?
Zakynthos is renowned for its pristine turquoise waters and rich mineral seabeds. Afrala is not just a seasoning — it is a culinary and medicinal treasure, rooted in centuries-old Greek tradition.
Harvesting Afrala is more than a method — it’s a family ritual and an act of love. By choosing Afrala, you bring home the purity of the Aegean, the warmth of the Greek sun, and the nurturing spirit of generations.
