Case Study: Sal de Menorca – Complete Migration to Shopify for a Traditional Sea Salt Brand

Background

Sal de Menorca is a brand dedicated to the production and sale of natural sea salt, harvested using traditional methods in its salt flats located in Menorca. Combining heritage, craftsmanship, and Mediterranean authenticity, the brand offers not only premium salt products but also guided visits to its salinas, where customers can experience how sun, water, and wind come together to create salt in a natural and artisanal way. To elevate its digital presence, a complete migration to Shopify was carried out, focusing on improving user experience (UX) and SEO performance.
