When you're in the pursuit of produce that puts more back into the environment than it takes out, it is impossible to not feature the incredible method developed by Gregory and Malkay up at Blackthorn. Most people don't know just how energy intensive it is to manufacture salt. Just watch the video below to see their process. Aside from the environment brilliance, the texture and delicacy of the salt is like nothing we've ever tasted. It'll be in my kitchen forever and a day.

About our Salt

The Farm

Blackthorn Salt

Gregorie and Malky

Blackthorn’s ways are patient, gentle and sustainable: Scottish West Coast sea water is slowly trickled through the country’s only graduation thorn tower whilst being evaporated by the exhilarating West Coast winds. Reminiscent of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, their tower of thorns sits facing the sea and the mountains of Arran. This spiky structure is incredibly effective as well as being visually impressive: it enables a significant acceleration of the evaporation process required for sea salt production Sea water is dribbled through 54 wooden taps and a series of channels which are checked and adjusted daily according to the weather. The sea water seeps along every twig and thorn, maximising exposure to our powerful and persistent coastal winds (and any sun that might be showing face). The emerging droplets partially evaporate and any remaining liquid becomes a more concentrated brine. The final stage is all skill and alchemy: we take the now exceptionally salty brine, add our Salters and their intricate knowledge of our salt, some gentle heat and nothing else.
