Introduction: The Perfect Balance of Texture, Purity, and Flavour

When it comes to perfect seasoning, every detail matters — and nothing defines flavour and texture quite like Salt Flakes 500g. Naturally harvested from pristine sea waters and delicately sun-dried to perfection, these premium sea salt flakes bring out the best in your food with a clean, balanced taste and satisfying crunch.

Loved by chefs, bakers, and home cooks across New Zealand, Salt Flakes 500g adds depth, texture, and refinement to any dish — whether it’s grilled lamb, roasted vegetables, caramel brownies, or fresh seafood.

With its light, pyramid-shaped crystals and pure, mineral-rich flavour, this salt isn’t just a seasoning — it’s a culinary essential that transforms food into art.

1. Description

Naturally Harvested and Expertly Crafted

Our Salt Flakes 500g are harvested using the traditional solar evaporation method, where seawater from clean coastal sources is gently dried by the sun and wind. This slow, natural process forms the signature delicate flakes that are soft, crisp, and full of flavour.

Unlike heavily processed table salt, our flakes are minimally refined, preserving trace minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium. These minerals contribute to the smooth, rounded taste that makes this salt a favourite among professional chefs and health-conscious cooks alike.

Each batch is meticulously inspected to ensure purity, texture, and balance — delivering a salt that’s as natural as the ocean it came from.

The Texture That Makes the Difference

The secret to salt flakes’ appeal lies in their texture. The thin, pyramid-shaped crystals melt gently on the tongue yet add a light crunch when sprinkled as a finishing touch. They dissolve quickly when mixed into recipes but retain a crisp bite when used on plated dishes.

That’s why chefs and food stylists use Salt Flakes 500g for everything from enhancing roasts to decorating chocolate desserts — it’s flavour, aroma, and presentation in one perfect pinch.

Pure, Additive-Free, and Natural

Our Salt Flakes 500g are 100% natural sea salt, free from additives, preservatives, and anti-caking agents. It’s non-iodised, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly, making it suitable for all diets and food applications.

Because it’s naturally produced, each crystal maintains its natural structure, ensuring consistency and quality that meet New Zealand’s high food-safety standards.
