[/vc_column_text][csmx_title title="Discovered in the Ancient Ages" heading="h2"][vc_column_text]The history of rock salt is quite an interesting one as it goes approximately 8000 years ago. It is known that the first extracts were discovered in Northern China in the same period. However, many historians also mention that the initial harvests of salt were first seen in Romania.

Moreover, it was in 326 B.C when Alexander was on his quest to conquer the world when the salt licks were discovered. It was discovered when the horses alongside the military troops started to lick rocks instead of grazing grass. It was at that time that people realized the importance of natural rock salt.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
