The sea provides us with an abundance of wild foods. However, it's increasingly important to source these foods from clean seas. This Chunky Sea Salt, sustainably harvested from the clean, mineral-rich seas off the coast of New Zealand, is a perfect example.

Unlike many processed table salts, it contains naturally occurring trace elements and minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Digestion, nerve and muscle function rely on salt to work effectively, so natural sea salt can contribute to a balanced diet. Our Chunky Sea Salt is particularly dry and has an intense flavour which makes it perfect for grinding and a staple for gourmet cooking.

We get our salt from Lake Grassmere, a lagoon which was formed 1,800 years ago. The prevailing wind is a strong, dry 'north-westerly' which creates the ideal conditions for natural salt production.

It takes a full year for the sea water to evaporate naturally in the sun and harvesting takes place in late summer. The salt is then screened, graded and packed.
