In Europe Romania, Bulgaria, Germany, Austria Bosnia and Poland all have large deposits and mine rock salt for use all across Europe. North America also has some of the largest rock salt mines, in places such as Ontario, Louisiana and Detroit. Many old salt mines, and some of the new functioning ones, are more than just mines though, and attract thousands of visitors each and every year.
All salt originated as sea salt. Even though much salt is inland mined in crystal form, at one time it was seawater. Salt can be harvested using several methods: salt can be mined from the earth; saltwater can be filtered and evaporated; salt brine can be pumped to the surface from underground and evaporated.
