Summary

Description
English: Asin tibuok is a rare artisanal salt from Alburquerque, Bohol made from filtering seawater through ashes. It has a sharp, salty flavor with mild smoky undertones.

The making of asin tibuok is labor-intensive. First, the saltmakers or asinderos soak the coconut husks in pits that catch seawater during high tides for several months. The husks are then cut into small pieces and dried under the sun for a few days. During the drying process, the coconut husks are not allowed to be rained on, or else the asinderos have to start from scratch. The dried husks are then burned and reduced to ashes called gasang. The asinderos collect the gasang and then put it in a funnel-shaped bamboo filtering device called sagsag.

Seawater is poured into the ash. The brine, called tasik, is collected and poured into clay pots. These are boiled for several hours in the furnace, continually replenishing the pots with more brine once some evaporate. Eventually, the pots will crack, revealing an orb-shaped solidified salt.
