Two dishes. One salt.
Lava, on cod and dough crusted celery root.
Charcoal in the Lava salt doesn't bring a specific flavor but instead rounds the edges, creating a softer taste. The black color brings beautiful contrast and finish to any dish you put on the table.
Salt skafa.
Our salt rake.
We designed it in 2011 with Ívar, a steelsmith in Ísafjörður.
Highest grade stainless steel.�Holes for the brine to drain.
Sized so the crystals stay intact.

The best summer dishes don't ask much.
A ripe tomato. A slice of good bread. Flaky sea salt on top that pulls out the juice and enhances the sweetness.
The soundtrack of our salt. Slow sounds from a slow process.
Recorded in Reykjanes.
