Three single-origin salts from named makers — Blackthorn from Ayrshire, a paludier's fleur de sel from Guérande, spring salt from the terraces of Maras — graded on one standard and presented together with a hand-shaped horn spoon.
Ayrshire, Scotland. Seawater from the Firth of Clyde, a thorn tower, then an open pan. Gregorie Marshall since 2019.
Hollow pyramids, dry, with a soft snap. Dissolves fast. For steak, chops, and dark chocolate.
Fine, damp clusters that cling and dissolve slowly. For tomatoes, butter, bread, cheese.
Sacred Valley, Peru. Terraced ponds fed by a saline spring, worked by local families.
Pale pink granules, firm, moderate moisture. For stone fruit, avocado, grilled vegetables, crudo.
Wine has a classification; salt never did. Each salt we select is graded on the same six properties, in the same order, on the label — the ones that change what happens on the plate. Method, then style, then origin, then producer.
We work with a small number of makers: family salt works, single paludiers, terraces held for generations. Flights rotate as harvests allow.
The spoon is ox horn, shaped by hand at Abbeyhorn in Holme, Cumbria — the last horn works in Britain, trading since 1749. Horn has served salt for centuries: it neither tarnishes nor taints, and each piece carries its own grain and colour.
The salt pot is porcelain from Hasami, Japan, for whichever salt the table uses most. Both pack in the case with the jars.

Horn is the traditional material for salt: it neither tarnishes nor taints. Ours come from Abbeyhorn, a horn works in Cumbria trading since 1749.
Yes. We rotate the flight as harvests and allocations allow, so our offerings will change over time. Each of our selections is graded to the same standard.
