Seaweed Salt
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!
Licorice Salt
Deeply rooted in Icelandic culture is a love of all things licorice. Our unique mix of licorice root and Icelandic flaky sea salt together make something you have never tasted before. Whether or not you think you like licorice, we bet you’ll surprise yourself and love our salt - don’t be afraid to give it a chance.
Tasting Notes: With notes of toasty nuttiness and a tangy licorice flavor our Licorice Salt is a little salty, a little sweet, and all around delicious.
Key Descriptors: Toasty, Tangy, Unexpected, Salty Sweet
Best Pairings / Recipes: Licorice Salt is a versatile salt that can be used in both savory and sweet applications. It’s excellent to use in desserts and cakes and it is excellent when paired with game meats or sprinkled over fresh popcorn.
