At Salt of Kinsale we harvest the sea’s finest offering by hand, gathering only the most pristine waters from off the Old Head of Kinsale in Co. Cork. Our craft is simple: pure sea water, the sun, wind and time. Using a sustainable evaporation process powered only by natural elements, we let nature form each crystal, ensuring every batch is truly local and completely untouched.

Rooted deeply in our coastal home, we are committed to creating a pure, premium and authentically local food product that exists in harmony with its surroundings. Our process is gentle on the environment, respectful of the ocean and guided by a belief that simplicity creates the best flavour. Every crystal we collect is an expression of place, shaped by the Atlantic air and the rhythm of the tides.

We believe in doing less so that nature does more. As founder Billy Hosford explains, when you scoop up the crystals after the water evaporates you’re tasting the sea itself. Whether you’re seasoning a dish at home, finishing off a gourmet creation or simply adding a pinch of brightness, our salts bring the unmistakable character of the Atlantic and the wildness of Cork’s coastline.

We hope you taste the difference and love it as much as we do.
