Our flaky sea salt is dried over birchwood smoke, according to an old Icelandic tradition. The birch wood imparts a strong smoky flavor, with a deep, unique profile unlike anything you've ever had before. For modern Icelanders, the smell of birch smoke instantly transports them to summertime camping or to a cozy Christmas evening spent with friends and family.

Tasting Notes: Woodsy, smoky, and slightly sweet, this salt brings depth and rich, lush smokiness 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: Smoky, Luscious, Surprising

Best Pairings / Recipes: This salt is absolutely delicious on eggs and vegetables (especially avocados!). 

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.
