Ingredients: Opito Bay Sea salt, Coromandel kelp
Our hand harvested, artisan sea salt reflects the unique characteristics of Opito Bays beautiful pristine waters. With a salty sweetness and gorgeous soft salt crystals, our gourmet finishing salt embodies the natural trace elements and minerals of the Coromandel, NZ.
Our salt is known across the world as a sel marin or fleur de sel. We don’t artificially dry or use any anti-caking agents, flours, iodine or silica. It’s just pure natural salt!
SUSTAINABLE
We’re not eco-warriors but believe the less of a footprint we leave on the planet the better. So harvesting salt from sea water using the sun to evaporate it and packaging our lovely product in reusable and recyclable packaging just seems to make sense.
We have virtually nil carbon footprint as just about everything we do is done by hand. A labour of love.
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.
NATURAL MINERALITY: 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 hygroscopic-which means it loves absorbing moisture.
We don’t artificially dry our salt so, to keep it in good condition, we recommend keeping it in a sealed container or salt pig/salt bowl.
