Artisan Sea Salt

Our mission is to bring you an authentic natural New Zealand sea salt, using a salt making technique that’s thousands of years old. We aim to produce the best premium sea salt that reflects our the wonderful minerality present in our pure clean sea water. Small batches help us ensure you get quality natural sea salt every time. Each batch is subtly different as salt formation is influenced by heat. We get bigger crystals in the winter and slightly smaller ones in summer. It’s all part of a naturally produced product. 

Quality

Using some of the cleanest water in NZ certainly helps but that’s not the end of the story. One of the reasons our salt is unique is that we naturally evaporate sea water, which allows the wonderful trace minerals naturally present in the ocean to stay in the salt, adding to its briny flavour! Our salt is evaporated in purpose built solar tube houses which keep our salt beautifully pure and away from dust and other contaminants. We inspect our salt continuously through our process from harvest to packaging to make sure you’re getting a pure 100% genuine natural sea salt.

How to Store

Our sea salt is a true reflection of the beautiful and pure waters of Opito Bay. That means its unique flavour comes from the all the lovely natural trace elements and minerals present. And it’s this reason that the salt is slightly hygroscopic-which means it may absorb a little moisture over time. To keep our sea salt it in good condition, we recommend keeping it in a sealed container or salt pig/salt bowl.
