Jorge Raiado

Jorge married into this tradition 12 years ago, effectively becoming part of the second generation to operate his company. But any ambition Raiado had to improve the product encountered a powerful foe. The salt-making process in Castro Marim is a natural one, he explains. “Nature is always wild and does whatever she wants.”
