Noun Houn Refined Salt Enterprise in Kampot

Kampot, Cambodia – Kampot is Cambodia’s only producer of salt, turning out around 70,000-90,000 tons each year.  During the harvest, which runs from November through April concurrent with the dry season, sea water is funneled through channels into wide, square plots where the water evaporates, the salt is concentrated and then scraped up with wooden planks.  I got the chance to visit some of the salt fields pictured below, but unfortunately since harvest season hadn’t kicked off the storage houses were empty and I didn’t have the chance to taste Kampot’s own.
