Flake salt with wild Arctic thyme, a small volcanic flower that grows only in Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Tasting notes & pairings
Arctic thyme is in the thyme family but sweeter, with a lavender-like scent that is the smell of the Icelandic highlands in July.
Profile: Floral • Herbaceous • Unique
Best with: Lamb, cured salmon or trout, poultry, turkey, roast potatoes, a gin cocktail.
How it is made
Arctic seawater from the Westfjords of Iceland, evaporated with 100% geothermal energy. Hot water from the ground at Reykjanes runs under our pans until the flakes form, and we lift them out by hand. Nothing is burned, so the carbon footprint in making the salt is zero, and the whole business is Climate Neutral Certified. Read why we make salt this way.
Ingredients & testing
Hand-harvested Icelandic sea salt with wild Icelandic thyme, 90 g / 3.17 oz glass jar. No anti-caking agents, no additives, no iodine. Every batch is third-party tested for heavy metals. Pure flake salt keeps indefinitely; flavored salts hold their quality for five years.

Two ingredients. Arctic seawater and geothermal heat. That is the whole recipe, and it is why a jar of Saltverk costs more than the salt next to it. Why it costs more →
Keep the jar. When it runs low, refill it from the 6 oz pouch and save the glass.
Pairs well with Flaky Sea Salt, or try all six.
