Asin Tibuok

Asin Tibuok from Alburquerque, Bohol.

Asin tibuok are clay pots full of sea salt from Albur, on the southern coast of Bohol. The procedure dates back ages, similar but unique from the last remaining salt-making methods in the country (like Tultul in Guimaras, or Sugpo asin in Pangasinan).

The months-long process involves soaking coconut husks with sea water, burning them, and extracting brine from their ashes.

The isolated brine is boiled in these pots over and over until they are filled to the brim with salt from the sea.
