Halite is a mineral that can be found in specific deposits. As of version 1.16, halite is the only current source of salt in Vintage Story.
Location
See also Ore Deposits - Halite.
Halite stone can only be found in sedimentary layers. Halite forms either as a salt dome, or as a dry lake. Dry lake halite formations can only appear in a desert biome in sedimentary rock layers. Halite stones can be obtained by breaking surface halite stones, mining out halite rocks, or breaking halite speleothems. Sylvite, the ore for potash, can be found inside halite layers.
Halite stones are also sold by the commodities trader and the survival goods trader.

Cheese making also requires salt.
