At the Cornish Sea Salt Co our philosophy is simple... less is more.
The less we do with nature’s perfect recipe, the purer the result and the greater the taste... So the less you need to add. Simple.
Cornish Sea Salt sources sea water from the clearest, turquoise waters off Cornwall’s Lizard Peninsula. Our waters have Grade A accreditation – the highest to denote water purity.
Tony’s first business venture – at the age of 19 – was importing Tibetan carpets. After selling to all his relatives the market mysteriously dried up. A year later he was on the boat train to Ireland as a self employed tree surgeon. The start of a twenty year career in forestry which led him to plant trees from Swaziland to the Solomon Islands. Settling in Cornwall resulted in a complete change of direction and the idea of producing a premium sea salt from Cornish waters. Three years of hard work later and the sea salt is ready for harvest.
“Deeply rooted in Cornwall, Cornish Sea Salt Co values its Cornish provenance and the brand will focus on Cornwall’s heritage and fresh, clean coastline,” says Ellie. “Born and bred in Cornwall, I am thrilled to be part of this new and exciting venture that will add to Cornwall’s already diverse and interesting culinary and gastronomic reputation. We’re looking forward to working closely with retailers and chefs all over Britain to bring Cornish Sea Salt to the kitchens of people who really care about what they eat.”
I have spent the last 18 years in the Cornish food industry and have not seen a product that has created as much interest and enthusiasm as Cornish Sea Salt. I love good food and have watched with interest the UK and in particular Cornwall, develop through its many skilled and diverse food producers, to a region known for its excellent fine food. Cornish Sea Salt is the icing on the cake.
