Description
Saltverk is one of the few entirely sustainable flaky sea salt producers in the world. The flaky sea salt are handmade pyramid-like crystal salt flakes that contain the flavor and taste of the Nordic region from which the raw materials used in it is derived. Saltverk Sea Salt includes minerals necessary for the human body and embodies calmness reminiscent of the location of its tranquil production surroundings.
Wild Icelandic arctic thyme is a plant that grows on gravel soils and in dry heath lands in Iceland. The arctic thyme is complemented with Saltverk geothermal flaky sea salt and together they give the experience of the wild nature of Iceland.
Our salt making method is based on the 17th century old method practiced as well in Reykjanes. Reykjanes has some of the cleanest seawater imaginable which is the raw material used for making sea salt, where the North Arctic Ocean stream goes down the bay of Isaardardjup. On Reykjanes exists a lively wild life, consisting of whales, seals and birds. Not to mention the geysers, which the place derives its name from, that are still active and spread all over Reykjanes.
Saltverk is a newly established company which makes artisan flaky sea salt, using two centuries old method, in the Westfjords of Iceland. It is located on a small peninsula, Reykjanes, separating two fjords, surrounded with high mountains
