Origin

The salt flakes come from Iceland, where clear, cool seawater forms the basis for this specialty. The harsh Nordic climate and pristine environment provide ideal conditions for producing high-quality sea salt. The combination of traditional knowledge and modern technology ensures consistent quality.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

For Nordur salt flakes, seawater is gently concentrated and heated in open pans until fine crystals form. These are skimmed off by hand and gently dried so that the typical flaky structure is preserved. Biova ensures controlled processing to retain the minerals and natural character of the salt.

Special characteristics

Characteristic of these salt flakes is their delicate, leaf-like structure, which allows for easy dosing. Compared to conventional table salt, the flakes dissolve more slowly and release their flavor evenly. The grain size of 0.2–2.0 mm makes them interesting both for direct sprinkling and for use in spice blends.

Differences in origin and processing

In contrast to industrially refined table salt, this Icelandic sea salt is produced without complex chemical treatment. Gentle evaporation and manual skimming of the flakes differ significantly from the mass production of many other types of salt. As a result, Nordur salt flakes retain their natural character and pleasantly mild salinity.

Taste & aroma

The salt flakes are characterized by a clear, pure salt taste with fine minerality. They feel mild on the palate and leave no sharp or metallic aftertaste. In terms of aroma, they are subtle and neutral, so they do not mask the natural flavor of the food.
