The name "Popes salt" goes back to 1440 when the city of Cervia was used to send every year its sweet salt to the papal court in Rome.
Nowadays, a delegation of the salt pan goes to Rome in order to give the Pope the sweet salt of Cervia as a present.
This natural salt is not refined, treated or artificially dried, therefore it may appear damp and lumpy.
