The Olsson Family have been making solar sea salt since the 1950’s and is the oldest family owned and operated sea salt maker in Australia. We have a wide variety of salts ranging from fine sea salt crystals all the way to Fleur de Sel Flakes. At Olsson’s, we are proud to offer a wide range of pristine sea salt products that showcase the natural beauty and flavor of Australia. Our sea salt is crafted through the harmonious interplay of the sea, wind, and sun, resulting in a truly exceptional ingredient.
To make its sea salt, Olsson’s use the method called “solar evaporation”. Solar salt is produced by the action of sun and wind on seawater in large ponds. The seawater evaporates in successive ponds until the seawater is fully concentrated and the salt then crystallizes on the floor of the pond. It is then scooped up, washed in seawater, dried and packaged.
That’s it. There are no chemical processes involved in the manufacture of our product, which is why we guarantee it is perfectly natural.
Solar salt plants must be located in area of low rainfall and high evaporation rates and Olsson’s have the unique advantage of having as its only ingredient seawater from two of the world’s most pristine oceans: The Great Barrier Reef (Port Alma, QLD) and The Great Australian Bight (Whyalla, SA). Pristine Australian water, sun and wind work in harmony to create the gorgeous Australian sea salt taste we all love.
