Once combined with food, salt holds an incomparable force. Just like the sea water it comes from, its power is hard to grasp, yet transportive and without borders. It enhances the regional character of every ingredient to its fullest, and elevates our daily cooking rituals in the simplest way.
When sprinkled onto food, HAVSNØ Sea salt flakes enhance flavours with their subtle crunch and briny essence. Their delicate nature allows them to dissolve quickly, ensuring an even distribution of saltiness. Whether it's enhancing the sweetness of a juicy, ripe tomato or adding a savoury touch to a perfectly grilled fish, our sea salt flakes have earned their place as a cherished ingredient in the culinary world. Their delicately crispy crunch elevates dishes effortlessly reminding us that sometimes it's the smallest details that make the biggest impact
With one of the longest coastlines in the world, Norway is known for its bountiful sea. Yet the Norwegian sea salt production slowly disappeared by the start of the last century. In 2014, we started on our journey to revive artisan salt making in Norway. By reinterpreting methods dating back to the Viking Age, we sustainably handcraft our salt using only the cleanest Norwegian Sea water with the intention of reconnecting us to our environment and traditions.
The unique character of our salt derives from the purity of the Norwegian Sea and our artisan method of crystallizing, hand harvesting and drying the salt. Our process allows us to produce a salt of the absolute highest quality. One that is completely natural and without additives.
We draw sea water into our factory, gently filtering it along the way to remove naturally occurring silt, and sea life.
We make use of vacuum evaporation to increase the salinity of the the sea, to the point where seawater becomes ‘saltlake’, the Nordic word for brine.
Using techniques developed over the past decade, we combine age old traditions and advanced methodology to create the perfect environment for the formation of our HAVSNØ Sea salt flakes.
The quality of our product lies in the detailed selection process that follows the harvest, done completely by hand, and with an eye toward the end result, perfect flakes and the right salt for your ingredients, every time.
We approach our craft with care for our environment and a thoughtfulness we hope you can taste.
Havsnø is comprised of a small team of people devoted to the creation of a truly Norwegian finishing salt.
‘From our hands to your table, we hope you find inspiration in our sea salt, both its quality and our craft.’
