Food Preservation
Curing, brining and pickle-pack salt for sausage, bacon, ham, fish and dairy preservation lines — additive-free coarse and fine sea salt from the Bardawil pans, NaCl ≥ 97.5 %, ICP-MS heavy-metal panel per lot.
Salt for curing, brining and food preservation
Sausage makers, ham curers, fish processors, cheese plants and pickle producers need additive-free coarse salt with a tight grain-size window and verified low heavy-metal content. We ship curing-grade Egyptian sea salt — solar-evaporated at the clean North Sinai (El-Arish / Bardawil) and Red Sea pans — and food-grade Siwa Oasis rock salt to charcuterie producers, fish-curing plants and dairy operations across Mediterranean, North European and East African markets.
Dry-cure programmes prohibit additives and depend on a stable grain size for penetration rate; a lot that is finer than contract cures too fast, a lot with ferrocyanide fails the label. Egypt Globe Group's Quality Assurance division excludes anti-caking at the process stage, sieves and assays every lot at the port laboratory, and issues the Certificate of Analysis before the B/L — lots outside specification are rejected at the loading port.
Industry requirements
