Achill Island Sea Salt is hand harvested from the waters that surround Achill Island, off the
west coast of Ireland. Grade A sea water is put through a series of filters to remove
any sand, seaweed or particles that may be present in the water. The sea water is
then heated in a vacuum to allow for lower boiling temperatures. This leaves us with
a concentrated salty brine solution. The brine is then pumped into a shallow
crystallisation tank, where the sea salt crystals begin to form. The salt crystals are
then harvested by hand and dried. Once dry, they are packed by hand, ready for
your table.

Table salt is often highly refined and processed which strips the salt of its minerals, leaving
only 100% sodium chloride. Anti-caking agents are often added to prevent clumping.
Achill Island Sea Salt is naturally produced, with over 60 trace minerals that are
essential for good health and well-being. It does not contain any anti-caking agents
or additives.

Achill Island Sea Salt comes from the wild Atlantic sea that surrounds Achill Island. We
collect the water at the north of Achill Island and bring it back to our sea salt factory
where it is evaporated for sea salt harvesting.

Salt is composed mainly of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) and is an essential component of the
human body’s mineral content. It is essential for fluid balance, blood pressure
regulation, nervous system function, muscle function and digestion. Achill Island Sea
Salt is naturally lower in sodium and has over 60 trance minerals that are essential
for good health. It also has a stronger flavour meaning you use less.

Achill Island Sea Salt is a soft flaky salt and it is not recommended that you put it in a grinder.
Instead we recommend using it as a pinch salt.

As the seawater slowly evaporates, crystals naturally form on the surface. These then join
together, forming soft sea salt flakes. Different methods of evaporation will yield
different types of salt such as table salt, rock salt, fleur de sel.

Sea Salt can be used the same way as regular salt. The soft flaky texture of Achill Island Sea
Salt means it works great as a finishing salt. A few flakes sprinkled over a meal will
instantly enhance the flavours. Also try sprinkling a few flakes over meat or fish
before cooking to really bring out their flavours.

We do not use any additives, preservatives or anti-caking agents in our sea salt.

Achill Island is surrounded by Grade A seawater (the highest grade achievable for water).
This water is collected and put through a series of micron filters. This removes any
sand, silt or seaweed that may be present in the water.
