Achill Island Sea Salt
Achill Island Sea Salt is a family business, founded in 2013, inspired by the long forgotten tradition of Salt Production on Achill Island and the O’Malley Family’s passion for the ocean and its surroundings.
Achill Island is situated off the West coast of County Mayo and is Ireland's largest off-shore island. The fresh water that runs offit's soaring cliffs and mountains combines with grade A sea waters provides for the perfect conditions to harvest Achill Island Sea Salt. A combination of modern & traditional techniques allows for the creation of this award winning pure white sea salt known for its quality & unique taste. Its soft & flaky texture creates an intensity of flavour that will enhance any dish. Achill Island Sea Salt has over 60 trace minerals, no anti-caking agents or chemical preservatives. It is packaged in 75gm of recyclable glass jars
