About Blackthorn Salt

Made with wind, sea and thorns on the West Coast of Scotland, organically approved Blackthorn Salt is the ultimate transformative ingredient for today’s kitchen. Mineral-rich, poignant and bittersweet, with a taste echoing sea, Blackthorn Salt adds a rolling moreishness to any meal. Blackthorn Salt has revived salt making in the area in an incredibly beautiful, sustainable and innovative way. Pure West Coast seawater is gathered and then evaporated on the world's only working Thorn Tower. The concentrated liquid is further reduced in the Pan House, where the Salters use their skill and patience to draw off beautiful mineral rich sea salt crystals. The result is a sustainable and natural salt which tastes of the sea, but also has a deeper mellow sweetness that elevates flavours on the plate. Acclaimed by the Scotland's National Chef as being by far the best salt he has ever used, Blackthorn is rightly proud of its methods and unique taste. Read their story
