Blackthorn Salt uses centuries of tradition combined with the knowledge of today to create natural sustainable delightful salt crystals for your tables. 100% West Coast seawater and nothing else.
Blackthorn understands that salt is the single most transformative ingredient of all time. Clean and unrefined, the taste of Blackthorn Salt is everything a discerning palate requires, sweet, mount-watering tang. Used cleverly it can transform the mediocre, enhance a range of flavours or add a suggestion of rolling moreishness and sophistication to any meal. The crucial crunch factor is a given – and Blackthorn always encourage ‘by hand’ sprinkling, if only to experience this satisfaction, but also to ensure the exact distribution and grain size that you desire on each occasion. At Blackthorn, there are no illusions: no adding, no seeding, no bleaching, just pure Scottish sea salt. When you taste Blackthorn Salt, you taste nature – the sea, the winds and the thorns.
Reintroducing salt production to the area in a way the community can be proud of; sourcing materials locally; supporting and holding local events. Staying true to their roots and sense of place; learning Scottish salt boiling history and adding value, quality and integrity to the process for present and future generations.
Using materials and methods that are as sustainable and as responsible as possible, Blackthorn is always open to change and improvement, often enquiring themselves and others on whether what they are doing is right and best from a moral and environmental stance as well as business necessity.
