  The humble condiment, salt, is a staple of every kitchen cupboard but Blackthorn Salt is not only completely natural, it's totally unique, relying solely on the forces of nature; the wind, sun and sea.  Just take a look at this magnificent structure! This incredible Graduation Thorn Tower was built from scratch by Blackthorn Salt using sustainable and responsible materials on the West Coast of Scotland and is the only salt tower in the UK and not only that, it's the only tower in the WORLD to produce salt! Impressive huh? This ancient & environmentally friendly process begins with seawater slowly trickling down through the enormous thorn tower whilst the wind evaporates excess water. The skill and expertise of Blackthorn's Salters tease temperature to ensure the sea water evaporates precisely.  The time and labour that goes into producing this superb artisan salt shows in the slight tinge derived from the Blackthorn bark. The impressively large flakes gave us the crucial crunch we were hoping for and the wonderful tangy, sweet and yet mellow sea water aftertaste is simply divine. When adding these beautiful flakes to our 'culinary dishes' we found them to not only add a perfectly pure smooth saltiness, but also when requiring them to crumble to a fine smooth salt, they did just that! When sprinkling on our finished dish, it looked like crystal and you could almost see the glistening of the sea. We even caught one of the team eating this NEAT!... that's a weird one, but she professed these salt flakes just melted on the tongue. Blackthorn Salt is truly unique...  ...created from 100% sea water & nothing else! Top chefs have already chosen to experiment with Blackthorn Salt and these wonderful, moreish flakes come into their own when used as a finishing salt, for bespoke cheeses, within charcuterie or sprinkled on desserts and cocktails.  Even Blackthorn's handsome packaging box has been well thought out. Using no plastic and with a closable lid to keep your salt dust free, this sturdy and attractive box is perfectly 'hand sized' so you can easily dip in and out when you're cooking.
