The journey from underground mineral to seasoning staple has just wrapped up at Murray River Salt's site in Mourquong in south west New South Wales.
The company's annual salt harvest gathers product from highly saline water that is pumped from a deep aquifer in the Murray Darling Basin, which prevents the salt entering the Murray River system.
There are 18 salt mitigation schemes operating along the Murray River between Waikerie and Pyramid Creek.
