1. Description

Pure and Unrefined Mineral Goodness

Our Rock Salt Coarse 1kg is harvested from naturally occurring mineral salt deposits deep underground, where impurities and pollutants cannot reach. This ensures a clean, pure salt that’s free from artificial additives, bleaches, or anti-caking agents.

Unlike common table salt, coarse rock salt is minimally processed, allowing it to retain trace minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium — elements that not only enhance taste but also contribute to overall wellbeing.

Each crystal is carefully selected and sized to deliver the ideal texture for grinding, seasoning, and roasting, making it a versatile and reliable choice for both home and professional kitchens.

Distinctive Texture and Freshness

The coarse, crunchy texture of rock salt makes it a favourite for both chefs and food enthusiasts. Its solid crystal structure ensures a slow, even melt, releasing flavour gradually during cooking.

When ground fresh using a salt mill, it provides a bright, clean saltiness that enhances the natural flavours of your ingredients without overpowering them. It’s equally suitable for meat rubs, seafood seasoning, vegetable roasting, and baking applications.

100% Natural and Food-Safe

Our Rock Salt Coarse 1kg contains no artificial additives, preservatives, or iodine, preserving its natural taste and nutritional integrity. Each batch is washed and sun-dried to ensure optimal purity and safety in line with New Zealand’s food-quality standards.

It’s also Halal certified and non-GMO, ensuring suitability for all dietary and cultural preferences.

Packaged in a durable, moisture-resistant bag, this 1kg pack size offers the perfect balance between household convenience and commercial usability. It’s large enough for daily cooking or grinder refills while still compact for easy storage.
