Amazing salt. 1
Top reviews from United Kingdom

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2015I did not know this Salt before, as I am not originally from England but from Spain. But as a water person, I am very, very attached to the Sea and of course life right at the Sea.
I as looking for some really tasty salt as I tend to overdo it with salt - must be a family thing as my father had the same bad habid - and thus for me this salt is absolutely amazing. Thank you for all the other reviews as I could understand why I should pay a bit more for this and what exactly is the the additional value. For more detailed information I had a look at the manufactures site as I want to understand how and by whom a product is produced.
Pros:
- Very, very good quality
- Produced in a ecological way
- Handmade as I understood
- Cool packaging
- Good size for many years of great tasting food
- Very intensive taste like a good wine you can feel its origin, feel the sea. Wow!
- You need less salt for the same effect, thus a healthy option
- It dissolves very easily, so no grinder required anymore. You save more money here than you spent.
- Does keep fresh very well even if right next to the oven
- Speedy delivery with good packaging
Cons:

Very recommended by a salt lover!!!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2019Slightly disappointed that the price didn't drop with buying a larger quantity but other than that I am extremely pleased. Its a great product the quality is always there and it adds a good salt flavour... As I stated I have bought this regularly either through the supermarket or on line for years. It a Kitchen cupboard standard stock item for me. I hope this helps good supplier prompt delivery too..
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2015I first tried Cornish Sea Salt as part of a Tesco meal and quite liked it. I don't normally add any salt to food, partly because it's not very good for you and I don't like an overly salty taste to food.
This tastes different to the processed salt that we probably all eat from time to time and I'm sure it's better for you containing various minerals. I bought the 500g tub for a friend of mine and was surprised at how large it was, I was expecting a small tub about a quarter of the size of the one that turned up!
This is meant to be pinched and sprinkled on food rather than ground and I think it both looks and tastes better that way. Initially I thought that £6 for a tub of salt was a little on the pricey side but after seeing the size of the tub and knowing how good it tastes I would say that it's worth it's money. Something to be bought as a gift or as an occasional extravagance I think rather than a regular purchase, unless you're like me and don't eat a lot of salt. This tub should go a long way.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2019I love this sea salt and it’s so much tastier than the usual run of the mill salt.
You really do notice the difference in taste and flavour. The only downfall is
it comes in a plastic bucket and I hate plastic, so have transferred the sea salt
to a lovely glass jar instead, much more fitting for such a good product.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 July 2014Lovely product and I agree with a lot of the other reviewers - it certainly is saltier, so a little goes a long way. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that the salt was damp when it arrived (which would certainly explain why it is presented in a water proof container) but at no point in the description of this lovely salt did it say that it was a slightly damp salt - which sadly does not work in a salt mill. However, after drying out half the tub in the oven on a baking tray, it was great for the mill. Why only half you may ask? Simple, the other half can now be used for coarse sprinkling into stews and soups and ideal for baking that requires that lovely salty crunch on the outside.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2021The simple answer is NO. Used this before and the consistency, as well as the taste, salt will enhance many dishes. I never used salt at all until the really hot days came along and then all the sweat forced me to sprinkle this on a fried egg. Bliss... you do not need to use a lot just enough to replenish your body's needs.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 June 2018I had been using Himalayan salt for about three years and began to suffer from water retention. Wondering if it was this I went back to using a good quality sea salt; and low and behold the water retention disappeared and my general health greatly improved.
I did not feel that unrefined sea salt was a healthy option, since not only does everything take a crap in the sea, but also use it as a dustbin.
I also got rid of my Himalayan salt lamps. What a difference I feel!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2019I am convinced this is the best saving salt ever. Use in everyday cooking for all cuisines and also for Popcorn. I have stopped using Himalayan or Rock Salt.

GoldenjasonReviewed in Germany on 9 January 2016
5.0 out of 5 stars Salz, wie ich es mag!
Nachdem ich jetzt bereits mehrmals dieses Salz bestellt und geliefert bekommen habe, möchte ich meine Begeisterung dafür gerne teilen. Mir gefällt die grobe Körnung und die leicht feuchte Haptik des Salzes, die ein feines Dosieren erleichtert. Nachdem ich in der Vergangenheit mehrheitlich bretonisches Meersalz verwendet habe, bin ich inzwischen auf die andere Seite des Kanals gewechselt und bevorzuge das Meersalz aus Cornwall. Positiv finde ich auch die Möglichkeit, das Salz in relativ großen Gebinden von jeweils 500 g kaufen zu können.
- Rebecca ArvieuxReviewed in the United States on 5 April 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars love this type of salt!
the best kind of finishing salt I've bought in quite a while. It flakes very well, and doesn't often feel like you've oversalted your food.
- Amazon CustomerReviewed in Canada on 29 January 2019
5.0 out of 5 stars I love this stuff!
This is great sea salt. It has a wonderful flavour. The flakes are large enoungh to add a great salty bite to a variety of foods. This is my favourite finishing salt. I will be buying this again.
