What Xwejni Salt Pans by Leli tal-Melh is known for

The Cini family has hand-harvested sea salt from the chequerboard rock pans below Xwejni Bay for five generations, scraping the crystals off weekly between mid-May and September. The shop packs the unrefined salt in table jars and 30-kilogram household sacks.
