saltworksTHE 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]
