The process involves filling hollow bamboo tubes with sea salt and roasting them over a high flame

The tubes are baked repeatedly at high temperatures using pine firewood. The salt is infused with minerals from the bamboo

The process is labour-intensive and takes 45-50 days. Skilled artisans and specialised furnaces are required to prepare it

Due to the high heat, the salt melts into a liquid form before cooled and solidified

This entire process is repeated nine times, which is why it takes so long to produce
