A lot of people ask "so what's so different about your salt?".

Firstly the way it tastes and flavours food. The salt works differently on the palate. The soft crystals dissolve at different rates giving a longer more pronounced saltiness. [You'll need less]. The naturally occurring minerals in the salt-up to 70 different minerals-increase it's flavour and means that the salt tastes very oceanic and has depth.

The salt also works through the mineral structure. The crystals are different sizes which means you get a layered saltiness again creating a depth which means you taste your food differently.

Opito Bay Salt is a natural, unrefined sea salt with naturally occurring ocean minerals, while refined sea salt is usually, uniform, heavily processed and often contains anti-caking agents or added iodine.

The main reasons people choose Opito Bay Salt are its natural production method, clean flavour, provenance, texture and naturally occurring minerals.

Sometimes in the very height of summer we get extremely flakey sea salt. Generally at the shallow ends of the salt pans. Its light and very fluffy. Part of the production is set aside for our Special Reserve "Fleur de Sel".
