You can taste the ocean in these crumbly white crystals, which are hand-harvested from the turquoise waters off Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula. The sea salt is rich with more than 60 naturally-occurring trace elements and delivers more taste for less salt, making it a tastier and healthier alternative to traditional table salt.The Cornish Sea Salt Company, recently won an Observer Food Award 2009 for 'Best Newcomer'.
The Cornish Sea Salt Company is a relatively new addition to the British sea salt circle, but it's one that's turning heads as it claims to be the only one harvesting salt direclty from the ocean. It's run by Tony Fraser who settled on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall a few years back. He soon discovered an old Iron Age salt works just on his doorstep. The idea of bringing this industry back to life has become his passion. The last time sea salt was harvested in Cornwall was over a hundred years ago, in Mousehole. Tony brought in Scottish engineers, from sophisticated whisky distilleries, to help him sort out the harvesting plant, which is literally right on the sea. They've developed a system that converts sea water into salt, using steam evaporation. The end result is one of the purest sea salts to ever tickle your tastebuds.
