Sea Salt Flakes
Harvested from the pristine waters of the Welsh coast, Halen Môn finishing salt boasts a unique crystalline structure that creates a delightful textural experience and exceptional ability to enhance the flavors of any dish.
The production process begins with seawater from the Menai Straits undergoing a natural filtration through a mussel bed and a sandbank, followed by charcoal filtering for further purification. Gentle heating in a vacuum concentrates the seawater into a brine solution. The captured steam then reheats the brine, promoting further concentration. Finally, the concentrated brine is transferred to shallow tanks, where undisturbed overnight crystallization allows delicate crystals to form on the surface, gradually sinking as they grow. The next morning, the salt flakes are meticulously harvested and rinsed in brine to achieve a glistening white finish. After careful drying, the flakes are ready within ten days of their journey from sea to salt.
Halen Môn's distinctively shaped flakes boast a warm amber hue, and their intense, ocean-infused flavor profile offers a surprising yet delightful complement to both sweet and savory dishes, from vanilla ice cream and crème brûlée to roasted vegetables and egg creations.
