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. Among the most commonly brine cured foods are ham, olives, and cheese.
The pool of brine in the foreground is nearly four times as salty as seawater and is so dense that a submarine can float on the pool (in fact, this photo was shot from a submarine). Salt in the ocean comes from rocks on land. The rain that falls on the land contains some dissolved carbon dioxide from the surrounding air. This causes the rainwater to be slightly acidic due to carbonic acid (which forms from carbon dioxide and water).
