BIRCH SMOKED SALT
Smoked over Icelandic birch wood in the way of old Icelandic tradition. A bold, woodsy flake with a hint of sweetness and a smokiness that goes deep rather than loud.
Tasting notes & pairings
The birch gives a rich, rounded smoke that adds depth to anything that has met a flame, and to a few things that have not.
Profile: Smoky • Luscious • Surprising
Best with: Salt-baked beets, roast vegetables, BBQ, eggs, bread, charcuterie, cured fish, a smoky margarita.
How it is made
Arctic seawater from the Westfjords of Iceland, evaporated with 100% geothermal energy. Hot water from the ground at Reykjanes runs under our pans until the flakes form, and we lift them out by hand. Nothing is burned, so the carbon footprint in making the salt is zero, and the whole business is Climate Neutral Certified. Read why we make salt this way.
Ingredients & testing
Hand-harvested Icelandic sea salt smoked over birch wood, 90 g / 3.17 oz glass jar. No anti-caking agents, no additives, no iodine. Every batch is third-party tested for heavy metals. Pure flake salt keeps indefinitely; flavored salts hold their quality for five years.

Two ingredients. Arctic seawater and geothermal heat. That is the whole recipe, and it is why a jar of Saltverk costs more than the salt next to it. Why it costs more →
Keep the jar. When it runs low, refill it from the 6 oz pouch and save the glass.
Pairs well with Flaky Sea Salt for everyday use, or try all six.
