LAVA SALT
Our flake salt blended with activated charcoal. Striking black on the plate, and softer on the tongue than you expect.
Tasting notes & pairings
Charcoal does not bring a flavor of its own. It rounds the edges, giving a smoother, less bitter salt, and the black colour gives contrast to anything pale: butter, fish, fruit, a cocktail rim.
Profile: Rich • Rounded • Striking contrast
Best with: Herb butter, grilled fish, soups, fruit, dark chocolate, cocktails, red meat.
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 activated charcoal, 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.
