WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE SALT

Today, salt operations on the island operate in much the same way that they did one thousand years ago. Perhaps the only difference is that this island has also become a huge tourist attraction due to the quality of salt that is produced there. The island sees approximately 60,000 visitors in a year.

The wonderful Laeso Salt costs 150 Danish kroner per kilogram. This is equal to approximately $29 USD. There are many other big plans going on for the island as well. Plans are in the works to reopen the dairy that sits on the land to begin manufacturing Laeso-salted, cheese, sausages, and hams. There is also a small church on the island that is going to be reopened to become a health spa. This health spa will provide people with skin disease to come bathe in the byproducts that come with producing this expensive salt.
