SALTVERK Lava Salt

Saltverk's Lava Salt is reminiscent of Iceland's vast black lava fields that cover a large part of the island. Made from the many volcanoes that have shaped Iceland from the very beginning, Iceland’s lava fields are craggy, jagged and a true sight to behold. Their Lava Salt was created to celebrate that unique landscape. 

Tasting Notes: Saltveck's black lava salt is Icelandic flaky sea salt blended with activated charcoal. The charcoal naturally smooths the bitterness that one can sometimes experience with salt, rounding the flavor to create a softer, more subtle salt. The salt's dark color also brings great contrast and finish to any dish you cook. All of Saltverk's salts are crunchy, mineral-rich sea salts. The higher mineral content and flaky structure give each salt a rich flavor.
