Arctic thyme is an herb unique to the sub-Arctic climates of Iceland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands. Its season is fleeting, blooming only for a few short weeks in the summertime. For Icelanders, the scent of arctic thyme evokes adventures in the Highlands and exploring the magnificent Icelandic countryside during the endless daylight of the Arctic summer.

Tasting Notes: Arctic Thyme is in the family of thyme, but has a sweeter flavor and a lavender-like scent. When paired with our sea salt, it brings both herbaceousness and a true expression of the wild nature of Iceland to whatever you choose to create. All of our salts are crunchy, mineral-rich sea salts - the higher mineral content and flaky structure give each of them a rich flavor.

Key Descriptors:: Floral, Herbaceous, Unique

Best Pairings / Recipes:: The salt is ideal for curing meat and fits perfectly with the Icelandic lamb, as well with other game meat and vegetables

More about the Saltverk: 
We make sustainable flaky sea salt using only geothermal energy and the pure, clean water of Iceland. Our salts have a zero carbon footprint, contain all the natural minerality of the sea, and are among the cleanest in the world, with no microplastics and industry-low heavy metal and lead levels. The word remote might have been invented to describe the Westfjords of Iceland. After finishing my studies I wanted to create something that honored and built upon traditional Icelandic food methods in a sustainable way. In 2011, Reykjanes in the Westfjords attracted me exactly for those reasons - its remoteness, natural resources, and history of salt-making.
In 2011, Saltverk was founded and reestablished salt making in Iceland. Making sustainable, high-quality, hand-harvested products is the passion that has guided us along the way. Today, Saltverk salt is used in many of the world's best restaurants and in the homes of food enthusiasts.
