THE PLACE

Salt with an address.

Blackthorn Salt operates in Ayr on Scotland’s west coast. Its method combines a graduation tower with a later heated stage. [1] [2]

THE METHOD

How the salt is made.

Seawater trickles through wooden channels and blackthorn branches, exposing it to moving air. The concentrated brine then receives heat to complete saltmaking. [1]

Process described by the operator; method categories are editorial groupings. Not independently inspected.

THE HARVEST
