Blackthorn Salt's delicious, natural and sustainable
100% Scottish Sea Salt flakes. Made using a unique production

Made with wind, sea and thorns on the West Coast of Scotland,
organically approved Blackthorn Salt is the ultimate transformative
ingredient for today's kitchen. Poignant and bittersweet, with a
taste echoing sea, Blackthorn Salt enhances any meal. The
attractive Blackthorn box is perfect for keeping out beside the
cooker ready to be used or taken to the table whenever required. It
is also a great gift for any foodie! It's designed to keep the salt
safe and dust free, but is also free from any plastics, is
sustainably sourced and fully recyclable. Enjoyed by chefs and
foodies across the country, including a growing number of Michelin
starred restaurants, Blackthorn Salt was delighted to be awarded 2
stars at The Great Taste Awards in 2021! The Method Blackthorns'
ways are patient, gentle and sustainable: Scottish West Coast sea
water is slowly trickled through the country's only graduation
thorn tower whilst being evaporated by the exhilarating West Coast
winds. Reminiscent of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, the imposing
tower of thorns sits facing the sea and the mountains of Arran.
This spiky structure is incredibly effective as well as being
visually impressive: it enables a significant acceleration of the
evaporation process required for sea salt production. Sea water is
dribbled through 54 wooden taps and a series of channels which are
checked and adjusted daily according to the weather. The sea water
seeps along every twig and thorn, maximising exposure to our
powerful and persistent coastal winds (and any sun that might be
showing face). The emerging droplets partially evaporate and any
remaining liquid becomes a more concentrated brine. The final stage
is all skill and alchemy: we take the now exceptionally salty
brine, add our Salters and their intricate knowledge of our salt,
some gentle heat and nothing else... at all. About the Producer At
Blackthorn, they understand that salt is the single most
transformative ingredient of all time. Clean and unrefined, the
taste of the salt is everything a discerning palate requires -
sweet, with a mouth-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
crystal crunch factor is a given - they always encourage 'by hand'
sprinkling if only to experience this satisfaction, but also to
ensure the exact distribution and grain size desired on each
occasion. At Blackthorn, they use 100% west coast sea water and
nothing else. 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.
