This week we launched our Vivimus water brand. Vivimus is backed heavily by science and is the purest mineral water on the market. We are taking a gentle roll out and then our online store will open where you can purchase Vivimus water in both Still and Sparkling and have it delivered directly to your door.

Vivimus water has been in development for over 1 year and we are fortunate to have the most advanced water testing labs in Europe attached to the business and also Professor Peter Myers of Liverpool univeristy as part of our team.

This week we have bottled over 8000 bottles and delivered these to the Old Course Hotel in St.Andrews for the Global Wellness Summit which will be held next week.

The name "Vivimus" is a nod once more to our roots in St.Monans where the village motto is "Mare Vivimus" which means 'from the sea we have life' Vivimus water is created using our byproduct of distilled sea water from the our sea salt prodcution. Our mineral water is pure and promotes health and hydration.

Fife entrepreneur Darren Peattie launches Vivimus water sourced from the North Sea.

UPDATE: WE ARE BACK UP!

ENSC WEBSITE: TEMPORARILY DOWN!

We are having a huge influx of traffic to our website today from around the globe and subsequently it keeps crashing with the volume of people trying to order salt.

We are working on the issue with our hosting providers to get it back up as soon as possible.

Sincere Apologies for this inconvenience!

The BBC recently covered the story of the start of the East Neuk Salt Co. and hard lessons I learnt along the way as I continue to build the company.

Heart operation is on the cards but I'm still loving making salt and excited about our future plans at East Neuk Salt Co.

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it I guess. Here's to Scottish Sea Salt crafted by hand and nature in the East Neuk!

Darren Peattie put everything into his dream of harvesting sea - at massive risk to his health.

As we head into 2024 we have a number of exciting projects about to commence at the ENSc. Giving everyone an insight into what we do and how we do it has always been my priority. I've always tried to show the good, the bad and the ugly of running a salt co. It's a lot of fun but sometimes it's also blood, sweat and tears!

I have recently started a new Instagram page to give everyone a daily insight into the ENSc. You can follow me at:

This page will be a personal insight and also an insight into how you can use our salts and ofcourse recipes etc.

Give us a follow on Instagram!

Something Very exciting has been distilling at the ENSC!

2024 will see the launch of our 'Mare Vivimus' Mineralised water!
We have only gone and created a Mineralised water from our distilled sea water by-product from our sea salt production. This has been months in the making, working within one of the leading Professors in the field of Chemistry. It is also a major part of our aim to be as sustainable as possible.

Mare Vivimus is the motto of St.Monans and translates to mean 'from the sea we have life' As always we aim to promote our home town of St.Monans and the heritage which the ENSC has been built on.

Choose water. Choose life
Modern water steeped in tradition from the coastal village of St Monans where the motto Mare Vivimus, From The Sea We Have Life, lives on.

Some very exciting brands will be stocking our water! Launching in 2024!

Eliza is sure moving through the ranks. When we came up with the idea of bringing back Salt production she was 4 years old and would come out water sampling with me. Fast forward nearly two years after the build and she is now on the production and pricing line!
