The final product looks like a white egg inside a brown shell. It is handmade using natural materials and traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. The salt-making process starts with collecting coconut husks, which are soaked in seawater for months. These husks are then dried, burned and mixed with seawater to create brine. The brine is boiled in clay pots until the salt is formed. The salt is then cooled and collected. Making asin tibuok is a physically demanding process that is usually done by men, though women are involved too, especially in cooking, cleaning and making the pots.
