“We set out to create a product that spoke of a sense of place and provenance - We could not be prouder to present our official Orsay Sea Salt. A true essence of the hebrides.”
— Anna Hock, Owner, Orsay Sea Salt
It’s a chilly wind that blows upon our whiskied shores here on the island of Islay - but oh are we used to it! With a steadfast grip (and an even stronger stomach), our hardy wee boat rides the intemperate blue mistress as we boldly gather from her swell…
Our salt is the very essence of these western waters.
Produced from only the purest, filtered Hebridean water, and collected from the fast flowing sound between the picturesque fishing village of Port Wemyss and the lighthouse island of Orsay. Our salt is sustainably hand-harvested, sun-dried, and untreated, allowing the unique mix of minerals from our area of Islay to give the salt it’s unusual texture and extraordinary flavour.
Orsay Sea Salt is a small, family-run business run by island lass Anna Hock on the cliffs above the tide, where Anna lives with her husband and children.
