Sustainably crafted on the West Coast of Scotland, this salt is made using a traditional graduation tower, an ancient yet environmentally friendly method that harnesses the power of wind and thorns to naturally evaporate seawater. The result? A beautifully balanced sea salt that enhances sweet, savoury, and umami flavours without overpowering them.

A Deeper Dive into Blackthorn Salt

The Blackthorn Graduation Tower – A Sustainable Approach

Blackthorn Salt is produced using a rare and historic technique—the graduation thorn tower, a 6th-century innovationthat has been reimagined for modern sustainability. Scottish West Coast seawater is slowly trickled over a tower packed with Blackthorn branches, where the sun and wind naturally reduce its moisture content before it is gently heated and crystalised into flakes.

This process requires no artificial chemicals or additives, ensuring that every pinch of Blackthorn Sea Salt remains as pure and natural as the waters it comes from.

A Salt That Elevates Every Dish

Blackthorn Salt’s unique texture and minerality make it perfect for:

✔ Finishing Dishes – Sprinkle over steaks, fish, or vegetables for an elevated taste.
✔ Baking & Cooking – The crisp flakes dissolve beautifully into sauces, breads, and marinades.
✔ Cocktails & Garnishes – A touch of Blackthorn Sea Salt enhances everything from margaritas to dark chocolate.
