SUNSHINE + PATIENCE + LOVE

Genuine 100% natural solar evaporated Coromandel Sea Salt

Each luscious crystal of Opito Bay sea salt has been carefully crafted through the combination of our three key ingredients sunshine + patience + love. After gathering pure sea water from one of Coromandel’s iconic beaches, the pristine Opito Bay. We settle, filter and carefully solar evaporate our salt in small batches to create big, translucent crystals which bring out the coast’s unique minerality. Then we lovingly harvest each grain and package in environmentally sustainable packaging to retain its quality. The result is an authentic and delicious premium finishing salt with a satisfying soft crunch that melts on your tongue delivering a well-balanced salty-minerally kick.  

We love to pair our special sea salt with local ingredients that complement its delicious character.

OUR STORY

Our story begins with a love of the sea and of food. And like all good ideas it started with a bottle of red wine on a cold wet winter night in Grey Lynn, in New Zealand’s biggest city Auckland. Erin {my salty partner) had been enthusing over an artisan salt she had bought. I had a lifelong interest in food and cooking but had never really thought too much about salt. As things progressed - and another bottle of wine, a pen and a piece of paper, we began to dream…. of course it didn’t take long! Throw in the corporate jobs, move to the bach(holiday cottage) in glorious Opito Bay, Coromandel and make salt! 

Well in the end we did it. After a year of experimentation – both good and bad we moved, got locked down, built our first greenhouse and another year on, we now have 7 greenhouses and planning more!

We love the Coromandel and try to source local ingredients to combine with our salt. We love the sun, the pristine clean water and remoteness of Opito – which all somehow comes together in our hand-crafted sea salt.
