Made with wind, sea and thorns on the West Coast of Scotland, Blackthorn Salt is the ultimate transformative ingredient for today’s kitchen. This attractive 240g Blackthorn box is perfect for keeping out beside the stove ready to be used or taken to the table whenever required. It’s designed to keep the salt safe and dust free, but is also free from any plastics, is sustainably sourced and fully recyclable.
Scottish West Coast Seawater is a single ingredient at Blackthorn, every flake is the product of our sustainable Thorn Tower method. Slowly grown and harvested by hand, these natural crystals enhance flavours like no other. The distinctive mineral array has been carefully retained giving characteristics which complement the palate incredibly well. With a nod to each of the 5 basic tastes, each crystal has a completeness that is rarely found: in Blackthorn there is magnesium and potassium which provide bitter and sour notes, calcium for the sweetness, sodium chloride for the salty and even tannins from the Blackthorn branches for that earthy savoury element, giving a hint of umami and an incredibly long-lasting taste sensation.
Blackthorn is often considered to be a finishing salt that will give a beautiful, lasting, moreish and clarity to flavours, but customers also use Blackthorn for sauces, baking, roasting, brining/ dry-brining, curing, salting, fermenting, you name it, there is no prescription. If you are not sure, it's recommended starting with small amounts (it does give bigger flavour after all), experimenting and taste testing: let your palate lead you!
