A Kelussia pouch on linen
Kelussia · Vancouver & Semnan

We bring the blue out of the mountain.

Kelussia is a Vancouver salt house with one obsession: Persian blue salt, a coarse rock salt mined by hand from the veins of the Namak Lut mine in Semnan, Iran, the only edible blue salt mine on earth, and packed by hand in Vancouver.

Most salt is made to disappear.

Ours is made to be seen.

We don't grind it. We don't dye it. We don't add anything.

We carry it 6,200 miles so it can do one thing: finish your plate.

Who, what, why.

The short version
WhoA Vancouver house, a partner in Semnan.

We work directly with the people who mine the salt, and we pack every pouch ourselves.

WhatPersian blue salt. Nothing else.

Coarse rock salt with natural blue crystals. One ingredient, lab-tested in Canada.

WhyBecause the last pinch is the one people notice.

Everyday food deserves a finish. A fried egg, a sliced steak, a bowl of soup: one pinch and it looks like it was meant to be.

The vein Mined by hand
Semnan, Iran

The blue runs in veins.

The mountain is pale. The blue runs through it in narrow seams. Nobody blasts it out. Miners follow each vein and mine it by hand, piece by piece.

Cut from the vein

Not a slogan. The job.

It's written on every pouch because it's exactly what happens. The vein is found, followed and mined out by hand. Everything around it stays in the mountain.

  1. IFind the vein

    Dark seams in the pale rock mark where the blue is.

  2. IIFollow it by hand

    Mine along the seam to keep the crystals whole.

  3. IIIKeep it coarse

    Big crystals keep their colour. Grinding turns them white.
