1. Description

Naturally Harvested, Expertly Crafted

Our Salt Flakes 200g are produced through natural solar evaporation, where clean seawater is carefully dried and crystallised under the sun. This traditional process creates thin, pyramid-shaped flakes that are lighter, softer, and more flavourful than standard table salt.

Unlike heavily processed salts, these flakes retain trace minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which contribute to their smooth taste and nutritional value. The result is a salt that’s pure, balanced, and naturally perfect — exactly what discerning Kiwi cooks expect.

Texture That Transforms Dishes

What makes salt flakes special is their texture. The delicate crystalline structure allows them to dissolve quickly yet still deliver a satisfying crunch when used as a finishing salt. Sprinkle a pinch over grilled steak, roast vegetables, chocolate desserts, or fresh bread — the light flakes add both taste and texture, enhancing the eating experience.

Their beautiful, glistening appearance also makes them a visual highlight on any dish — a hallmark of gourmet plating and modern presentation.

Clean, Crisp Flavour

Where table salt can be harsh, Salt Flakes 200g offers a gentler, rounder salinity. The natural mineral balance creates a mild, clean flavour that complements rather than dominates ingredients. It allows the natural freshness of seafood, vegetables, and meats to shine through.

This refined taste is why chefs and food manufacturers alike prefer salt flakes over coarse or processed salts — they season with precision and subtlety.

Each batch of Salt Flakes 200g is free from additives, anti-caking agents, and preservatives. It’s non-iodised, non-GMO, and naturally gluten-free, suitable for all cooking styles and dietary needs.
