Description
Saltverk is one of the few entirely sustainable flaky sea salt producers in the world. The flaky sea salts are handmade pyramid-like crystal salt flakes that contain the flavor and taste of the Nordic region from which the raw materials used in it are derived. Saltverk Sea Salt includes minerals necessary for the human body and embodies calmness reminiscent of the location of its tranquil production surroundings. It is used in many of the best restaurants and in the homes of food enthusiasts around the world.
Saltverk is in Reykjanes, in the Westfjords of Iceland, which has some of the cleanest seawater imaginable. The sea supplies the raw material used for making sea salt.
Includes: Seaweed Salt & Lava Salt
Tasting Notes: Lava Salt
One of the most striking things that you can experience when coming to Iceland are the vast black lava fields that cover a large part of the island. Made from the many volcanoes that have shaped Iceland from the very beginning, Iceland’s lava fields are craggy, jagged and a true sight to behold. Our Lava Salt was created to celebrate that unique landscape.
Tasting Notes : Our black lava salt is Icelandic flaky sea salt blended with activated charcoal. The charcoal naturally smooths the bitterness that one can sometimes experience with salt, rounding the flavor to create a softer, more subtle salt. The salt's dark color also brings great contrast and finish to any dish you cook.
Key Descriptors: Rich, Round, with Striking Visual Contrast
Best Pairings / Recipes: Great with meat, seafood and fruits.
From its earliest beginnings to modern day, life on Iceland has always been connected to the sea. We choose to highlight this heritage by combining native seaweeds, hand-harvested from our local seashores, with our flaky sea salt to create an umami-rich salt that we absolutely love.
Tasting Notes: Seaweed Salt
This salt truly smells of the clean, fresh seashore, and tastes of bright saline minerality mixed with rich earthiness. Using two different types of seaweed we’re able to create umami notes that bring a deep depth of flavor to the dishes you choose to cook.
Key Descriptors : Saline, Earthy, Umami
Best Pairings / Recipes: Adding some Seaweed salt to chicken, soups and fresh fish makes your dish even more delicious!
