Yorkshire Sea Salt

Pure sea salt flakes harvested from the North Yorkshire coast, and processed using innovative, modern methods to create the purest, nutrient-rich sea salt.

Each tub contains 100g of salt.

Minimum use by of 3 years. Store ambient in a cupboard.

Restoring a 6000 year old local tradition. Yorkshire Sea Salt is the first salt house to produce sea salt in Yorkshire since the neolithic era. Their aim is to reinstate a long-lost local tradition to the area using modern methods of production that have a low environmental impact and produce the purest, 100% natural, mineral rich sea salt.

Created by the Earth, harvested by us. Sea salt has been forged by the Earth for millennia, infusing it with ancient minerals and nutrients that benefit our all-round health. Formed off the rugged, geologically unique coastline of North Yorkshire and fed by nutrient rich seagrass meadows and ancient kelp forests, our pure, hand hauled sea salt has a mineral structure unique to our coastline.

From sea to store: How our sea salt is made. Mother Nature starts forming our sea salt in the rough seas off the rugged North Yorkshire coast, then we take over, using modern artisan methods at each stage to ensure a perfect, pure product. First begins the waiting game, we only harvest the fresh North Sea water when it is at its highest salinity, this can often take days of waiting for just the right time. Better put the kettle on…

Triple Filtered. Salt solution is triple filter the waters through varying micron filters in order to remove any solids such as sand and shell deposits, before passing the water through a UV light to destroy any remaining organic matter.

The Pan Room. The filtered waters are then passed into our evaporating boiler where we slowly reduce it down to a highly saturated brine. It’s then pumped into the Pan Room where we gently heat the brine until salt pyramids begin to form on the surface. Once the surface tension becomes too much, the pure salt flakes fall to the bottom of the pan and are ready to be harvested.

The Drying Room. Pure salt crystals are drained and spread into trays to begin the drying process in drying ovens.
