About
We harvest our seasalt from the crystal clear waters of Par Beach on St Martin's; we put the seawater into our salt pans and let the sunshine do the rest. SC Salt started as an idea in 2009, when we produced our first seasalt by evaporating a milk churn of sea water in a greenhouse on the farm. Our first evaporation produced a small amount of seasalt during our initial trials. We still use the same process of Solar Evaporation to produce SC Salt however since our first trial we have thought a bit bigger, but the process is very much the same. The salt pans are used to produce our sea salt, between early April and late September each year. The evaporation can take anywhere between 8 - 12 weeks which is very much dependant on the weather. During the nicest of Scillonian summers we can get as many as 4 evaporations and if the sun does not bless our shores we sometimes only get one or two.
We have available 250g, 150g original SC Salt and a growing range of flavoured SC Salt including Chilli, Garlic, Salt & Pepper and Smoked salt. All available on line and in select local retail outlets. All our salt is recovered from the seawater pumped into our salt pans here on St Martins and sealed up in packets on the family farm at Carron Farm
