Saltverk Pure Flaky Sea Salt jar on white rocks

How to use Pure Flaky Sea Salt: the everyday finishing salt

Pure Flaky Sea Salt is where Saltverk began in 2011, and it is still the jar we reach for most. Large, dry pyramid flakes, hand-harvested from Arctic seawater and nothing else.

What it tastes like

Bright and mineral, with a clean burst of brine, no bitterness and a subtle savory finish. The flakes shatter between your fingers and dissolve on contact, so you use less salt for more flavor.

How to use it

  • Finish steak, roasts and grilled fish just before serving
  • Scatter over eggs, avocado toast and ripe tomatoes
  • Bake it into bread or sprinkle it on focaccia before it goes in the oven
  • Top dark chocolate, caramel and cookies
  • Salt pasta water, brine and cure when you want a clean salt
  • Rim a cocktail glass

Recipes to try

How it is made

Every Saltverk salt starts with Arctic seawater from the Westfjords of Iceland, evaporated with 100% geothermal energy and lifted out by hand. Pure flake salt keeps indefinitely, and our Pure Flaky Sea Salt is Kosher certified. No anti-caking agents, no additives, and every batch is third-party tested for heavy metals.
