7th Meeting of the Seas

Tenerife | JUNE 29th - JULY 2nd 2025

REGISTRATION

Salt: Sciencie and life

The power of salt

Where did all the salt in the sea come from? Is there more or less salt each time? Why doesn't the ocean become saltier over time? Are all oceans equally salty? How does salt work in the kitchen to enhance aromas, balance sweetness or enhance umami? The answers to these questions and many others will be part of the dialogue between scientists, chefs and fishermen at the 7th edition of the Encounter of the Seas, to be held for the third consecutive year in Tenerife from June 29 to July 2.
