Isle of Skye Sea Salt

Isle of Skye Sea Salt – Pure, Sustainable & Award-Winning Sea Salt from Scotland

Taste the authentic flavor of Isle of Skye Sea Salt, directly from the crystal-clear waters of Loch Snizort on the Isle of Skye. This award-winning Scottish sea salt is harvested entirely sustainably using nothing but sun, wind, and seawater — no chemical processes, no heating.

The story behind Isle of Skye Sea Salt Company
Founded in 2013 by Nanette Muir (along with Chris and Meena Watts) as the very first producer in the UK to exclusively use solar evaporation – natural evaporation by sun and wind. The seawater from Loch Snizort is slowly evaporated in shallow ponds within polytunnels. After 4 to 8 weeks, pure, crunchy salt crystals full of minerals and flavor are formed.

Sustainable and artisanal
The production is circular: wastewater goes back to the sea and packaging is recyclable. This approach has earned recognition from Slow Food's Ark of Taste (2015) and multiple Great Taste Awards (2014, 2018, 2022).

New energy, same ethos
Since June 2023, the company has been led by Elisa Rodière and Antoine Bouré — a French couple from Brittany and Burgundy — while maintaining the original sustainable ethos.
