Bora Bora Island Sea Salt, Tahiti
A wonderful gift of the ocean comes from probably the most beautiful island in the world. Gently formed by the Polynesian Mara’amu wind. Smoothly dried by the South Pacific sun. Carefully and lovingly sorted by hand.
Nowadays, the production site is located on Motu Temahu (small Temahu island) in the beautiful lagoon of Bora Bora.
​The salt water is withdrawn far into the pure ocean. The nearest civilization is thousands of miles away which means the water is extremely clean and pure and so is the salt. It contains a lot of minerals and trace elements which are essential for the proper functioning of the human organism.
​Bora Bora sea salt is produced by a local family who live near the sea salt production site and constantly monitor its quality. Bora Bora sea salt is 100% natural, artisanal and harvested by hand. Bora Bora Sea Salt is HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) certified.
Tasmanian [Island] Sea Salt, Australia
Tasman Sea Salt contains an abundance of naturally occurring trace minerals derived from the pristine nutrient rich waters of the east coast of Tasmania, Australia. Rich in potassium with lower levels of sodium than many other salts, Tasman Sea Salt contains all the goodness that nature intended.
​
Tasman Sea Salt is situated on the border of the Southern Ocean, the cleanest ocean in the world. Harvested from this pristine sea water, Tasman Sea Salt does not need to be cleaned or rinsed during harvesting. Nothing is added and nothing removed except fresh water, meaning all the trace minerals and nutrients found in the ocean remain in the salt, providing for a salt with an incredible depth of flavour that also has added health benefits. Tasmania is Australia’s southern most state, with nothing but ocean between it and Antarctica. The seas around Tasmania are some of the cleanest and most nutrient rich waters in the world and it is this unique combination which gives Tasman Sea Salt flakes their great taste and incredible depth of flavour. Packed full of the sea minerals and nutrients that are found naturally in these waters, Tasman Sea Salt contains all the goodness that nature intended.
Antarctic Water Sea Salt, South Africa
Our Atlantic Ocean source of sea salt is free from the effects of heavy industry, with the Benguela current coming from the Antarctic. Our pristine ±400 year old brine is pumped from an underground seawater lake (Aquifer) on the shores of St. Helena Bay, where the sea water filters through beds of sand and shell, providing additional calcium. This pure brine has a most distinctive and memorable taste.
The sea water is pumped into a series of pans where the salt concentration increases as it moves from pan to pan. Once it nears saturation point a small amount is pumped to the specials pans.
Hand harvesting for the general sea salt is usually done twice a week. Staff use long handled rakes and stainless steel mesh skimmers, bending over the shallow rectangular pools of seawater, dense with salt, drawing the crystals to the sides of the pans.
For “Fleur De Sel”, the cream of the saltpan, the employees skim the sheets of white mica-like crystals from the water of the small pans and lay them gently in trays to dry in the sun. These neonate crystals, shaped like large glittering dragonfly wings, float only for a few hours and must be skimmed quickly and daily, before they precipitate to the bottom.
The bottom layer of the salt pans are left untouched and as a result the traditional Sea Salt, Fleur de Sel, Caviar and Flakes are of an unparalleled whiteness. After, the sea salt is placed in gauze lined baskets to dry in the sun.
All our varieties of sea salt are unrefined and packaged straight from the pans with their mineral content intact.
Hand-harvested sun-dried sea salt is not ‘refined’ in any way and contains a great variety of minerals. Some of these, such as magnesium, calcium and iron, are particularly good for health and occur in relatively high concentrations in natural sea salt.
The hand harvested sea-salts remain pure and unprocessed containing all the natural minerals and trace elements and does not contain artificial additives nor anti-caking agents.
