✨ Unveil the Essence of Iceland: Saltverk Flaky Sea Salt (Pure, Sustainably Crafted, Bold Flavor)

Our efforts to reduce our CO2 emissions generated by the sending of your orders mean that today Closiist is Carbon Positive on its shipments.

We combine Sendle, that offsets shipments CO2 emissions by supporting projects around the world, with Greensparks that allow us to do more to protect our planet.

With the help of Greenspark we voluntarily offset 7kg of CO2 and remove 2 plastic bottles from the oceans with each order at no extra cost to you.

Why 7kgs (15.43 lb)?

We took the average Carbon Emission of a 2lb package ground sent from NYC to LA and multiply that number by 4.

Why 2 bottles?

Millions of plastic bottles pollute our oceans every year, two standard bottles are a daily recommended water intake. We're committed to cleaning them up.

Saltverk is a newly established company which makes artisan flake sea salt, using a two centuries old method, in the Westfjords of Iceland. It is located on a small peninsula, Reykjanes, separating two fjords, surrounded by high mountains.
Reykjanes has some of the cleanest seawater imaginable which is the raw material used for making sea salt, where the North Arctic Ocean stream goes down the bay of Isafjardardjup. On Reykjanes exists a lively wildlife, consisting of whales, seals, and birds. Not to mention the geysers, which the place derives its name from, that are still active and spread all over Reykjanes.
During this whole process we use 206 °F (93°C) hot geyser water from the hot springs of Reykjanes, where we use it in the pre-heating, boiling, and drying process of our salt. Geothermal energy is the sole energy source used, which means that during our whole process we leave zero carbon footprints on the environment and no CO2 and CH4 emissions.
We pump the sea water to open pans where we pre-heat it until it becomes a strong brine, a salinity level of 17-20%. Then we boil the brine until white crystals appear on the surface and slowly fall to the bottom of the pan. Thereafter we draw the pan and drain any remaining liquid. Then it is dried and put into packaging.
