SIMPLY MADE FROM

THE SEA & SUN ON

THE ISLES OF SCILLY

To make SC Salt we simply leave the crystal-clear water of St. Martin’s Par to evaporate under the famous Isles of Scilly sunshine.

Then we might go sailing. And when we come back, all we have to do is seal up the pure taste of SC Salt and send it out to discerning cooks like you.

By boat, of course.

We harvest our sea salt from the crystal clear waters of Par Beach on St Martin’s. We put the seawater into our salt pans and let the sunshine do the rest.

SC Salt started as an idea in 2009, when we produced our first sea salt by evaporating a milk churn of sea water in a greenhouse on the farm.

Our first evaporation produced a small amount of sea salt during our initial trials.

We still use the same process of solar evaporation to produce SC Salt, however since our first trial we have thought a bit bigger, but the process is very much the same.

 

Salt Pans

Handmade in the Isles of Scilly

These are the salt pans used to produce our sea salt, between early April and late September each year. The evaporation can take anywhere between 8 - 12 weeks which is very much dependant on the weather. During the sunniest of Scillonian summers we can get as many as four evaporations, and if the sun does not bless our shores we sometimes only get one or two.

SC Salt

We have 250g tubes and 150g packets of original SC Salt, and a range of flavoured SC Salt including Chilli, Garlic, Salt & Pepper and Smoked salt. All available on-line and in select local retail outlets.

All our salt is recovered from the seawater pumped into our salt pans here on St Martin’s and sealed up in packets on the family farm at Carron Farm.
