Selected by our seasoned experts, this naturally coarse salt has been harvested from the vast desert plains of the Kalahari, South Africa. Sourced from the naturally occurring underground salt lake in the desert, the salt is broken down by water, leaving an impressive brine solution that the desert’s sun dries. This leaves the salt to contain essential minerals and trace elements.

We recommend using Kalahari Desert Salt for barbecues, particularly with meat to enhance it’s flavour. You can also use it for baking breads to gradually release the saltiness.
