Why is it blue?

The blue is built into the crystal.

The blue colour occurs naturally within the salt crystals. No artificial colouring is added.

  1. IFormed in ancient rock salt

    This salt formed deep in ancient rock-salt beds. Our lab test found 5,300 mg of potassium in every 100 g.

  2. IIWhat science says

    Scientific studies of blue halite have linked this colour to microscopic changes in the crystal structure, sometimes associated with naturally occurring minerals nearby.

  3. IIIWhy we keep it coarse

    For the best visual effect and texture, use the crystals coarse or lightly crushed rather than finely ground.

Pink salt gets its colour from iron oxide (rust). Blue salt's colour occurs naturally within the crystal.

Never arrive empty-handed again.

Wine gets opened and forgotten. Blue salt stays on their table for months, and every pinch reminds them who brought it.
