Harvesting

Coarse Mediterranean Sea Salt is harvested from the Mediterranean Sea through the natural evaporation of seawater during the hot summer months. This traditional method helps the salt maintain its natural purity and composition.

The salt primarily consists of sodium chloride, with small amounts of minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium. These minerals contribute to its distinctive flavour and provide additional nutritional value.

Once harvested, the salt forms large, coarse crystals. It is minimally processed to retain its natural characteristics, including its white colour, which indicates its purity and mineral content.

As a raw product, coarse Mediterranean Sea Salt contains essential minerals and electrolytes that can support a balanced diet. It’s a natural alternative to processed table salt.

The organic nature of Coarse Mediterranean Sea Salt means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Coarse Mediterranean Sea Salt in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
