Typically, the brine is a simple solution of salt and water, or it may consist of a more complex solution of salt, water, sodium nitrite, or flavorings, such as honey, sugar, herbs, or spices. Brine curing is also known as wet curing.. Among the most commonly brine cured foods are ham, olives, and cheese.
Santa Barbara (Spanish for Saint Barbara) is the county seat of Santa Barbara County in the U.S. state of California. Situated on a south-facing section of coastline, the longest such section on the West Coast of the United States, the city lies between the steeply rising Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
This water temperature is too cold for water sports. Santa Barbara is on the Pacific Ocean coast just 100 miles north of Los Angeles and it is popular with surfers. The ocean temperature is cool on average, and lows of around 55F or 12.7C in January gradually build to approximately 65F or 18.3C in summer.
