TASMAN SEA SALT

you know I always bought my salt from Malden…UNTIL I DISCOVERED TASMAN SEA SALT!!! We are so pleased that they are our latest sponsors, thank you!.

    

Tasman Sea Salt is situated in one of the worlds most pristine natural environments. Preserving these beautiful surrounds is central to the ethos of Tasman Sea Salt, harnessing sustainable energies throughout the production process.

Tasman Sea Salt utilises age old salt harvesting traditions alongside innovative new clean energy technologies. While the technology may be innovative the methods are simple – evaporating off fresh water to leave pure white salt flakes with nothing added and nothing removed.

Tasmania is Australia’s southern most state, with nothing but ocean between it and Antarctica. The seas around Tasmania are some of the cleanest and most nutrient rich waters in the world and it is this unique combination which gives Tasman Sea Salt flakes their great taste and incredible depth of flavour. Packed full of the sea minerals and nutrients that are found naturally in these waters, Tasman Sea Salt contains all the goodness that nature intended.

CHRIS & ALICE

Born and raised in Tasmania, Chris Manson spent his summer holidays working on the east coast where he developed a passion for the incredible landscape of his home state. After university in Sydney Chris moved to London to live and work – and in 2008 met his wife to be, Alice, at the music festival Glastonbury.

Growing up in Scotland, Alice’s love of good food developed at a young age. Surrounded by a family of enthusiastic cooks and working for her mother’s catering business during school holidays, Alice gained the knowledge and passion to start her own freelance catering business in her university years, before moving to London to work on sponsorship of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

During a trip home to visit family in Tasmania, Chris and Alice questioned why they weren’t able to buy a local sea salt when the environment and pristine natural resources of Tasmania seemed ideal for salt production. This planted the seed of an idea and in 2013 they decided to take the leap, and moved back to Chris’ home-state to set up their business harvesting sea salt.

Chris and Alice believe that purity is what makes their salt so special – both in terms of provenance and flavour profile. As passionate food lovers and long-time advocates for Tasmanian produce they have found their calling with Tasman Sea Salt, creating a beautiful product made with integrity.

Chris and Alice live on the east coast of Tasmania, and share their passion for this place with their three daughters and their dog, Beauly.
