220G "Asin Tibuok" Bohol Phils. Dinosaur Egg Coconut Sea Salt Authentic - FREE SHIPPING by DHL Express Asin Tibuok: A Filipino Heritage Salt from Bohol Island Asin Tibuok, meaning "unbroken salt" in the Filipino language, is a unique and cherished salt produced on the picturesque island of Bohol in the Philippines. This traditional salt-making method has stood the test of time, surviving the Spanish occupation and preserving its authentic flavors and cultural significance. The process of crafting Asin Tibuok involves a meticulous and labor-intensive series of steps, showcasing the craftsmanship and dedication of the salt makers: Soaking Coconut Husks: In the sun-kissed coastal region of Bohol, coconut husks are carefully immersed in the saltiest waters of the sea. This soaking period lasts around 3 to 4 months and occurs during the summer when the sea is at its briniest. The pristine mangrove forest serves as a sanctuary, infusing the salt with subtle natural flavors. Sun-Drying: Once the coconut husks have absorbed the essence of the sea, they are laid out under the warm tropical sun to dry. This crucial step requires several days of uninterrupted sunlight, as rainfall during this process can spoil the batch, rendering it unusable. Ash Formation: The dried coconut husks are then meticulously burned until they transform into ash. This intricate process demands patience and precision, as the husks need to be carefully monitored to achieve the desired ash consistency. Several days are dedicated to this stage, allowing the flavors to develop and mature. Filtering Brine: The resulting ash is placed in a sieve and utilized as a natural filter for seawater, transforming it into a concentrated brine. This brine, enriched with the essence of the coconut husk ash, adds depth and complexity to the final salt product. Evaporation in Earthen Pots: Traditional earthen pots are positioned atop a roaring fire, radiating intense heat. The carefully filtered brine is slowly poured into these pots, initiating the evaporation process. Over the course of 2 to 3 days, the water gradually evaporates, leaving behind pure, hard, crystallized salts. This arduous task requires nonstop dedication, as the pots must be continuously filled until they reach their maximum capacity. The result of this labor-intensive process is Asin Tibuok, a Filipino heritage salt renowned for its smoky and fruity flavor profile. Each grain of salt carries the essence of the sea, the coconut husks, and the dedication of the salt makers. Asin Tibuok is a testament to Filipino traditions’ resilience and the rich cultural heritage that has endured throughout generations. Do not purchase if not willing to wait. Thank you.
