Salt has “character” (like wine, olive oil, etc) which when not overly processed, speaks about where it comes from, or provenance. If trace elements and marine minerals can be maintained in salt, you get a product that is unique to the region from which it comes. Olsson’s Marine Mineral Grey Salt has oceans of character.

• Olsson’s Marine Mineral Grey Salt is the first celtic-style” salt (they call it Sel Gris in France) produced in Australia. This salt actually tastes like the ocean.
• Contains high levels of natural marine minerals and trace elements like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, iodine, etc which give it a more complex flavour. 
• It is naturally dried (2-3% moisture from sea water) to protect the high levels of marine minerals and trace elements.
• These natural marine minerals and trace elements make Olsson’s Marine Mineral Grey Salt taste even saltier than standard salt and give it what has been described as the flavour of the sea.
• Olsson’s Marine Mineral Grey Salt is a reduced sodium salt, naturally. Normal table salt (NaCl) contains 40% sodium and 60% chloride.
• The high levels of marine minerals and trace elements bring the sodium level down to below 35% consistently, and from time to time below 30% depending on the batch putting it in the “low sodium” category. All of this is done without artificial chemicals and additives. Isn’t nature wonderful?
• Perfect for Paleo diets as it contains a natural bio-available balance of marine minerals and trace elements
• Fine texture makes it suitable for cooking, for pinch pots on the table and for bathing. 
• Wonderful, healthy substitute for table salt.

The Olsson Family have been making solar sea salt since the 1948 and is the oldest family owned and operated sea salt maker in Australia.
There are no chemical processes involved in the manufacture of our product, which is why we guarantee it is perfectly natural.

To make it's 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.

On the Eyre Peninsular, South Australia, in the northern part of the Spencer Gulf, lies the vast tidal flats of False Bay where Olsson’s makes their solar sea salt. Three basic elements are required to make beautiful sea salt: sun, wind and sea water. And thankfully, nature has provided these in abundance at our Spencer Gulf Salt Works. With over 300 days of sunshine every year and enough wind to award nearby Whyalla as home to Australia’s kite-boarding championships, all that is needed is the cold sea water that has travelled north from the Leeuwin and circumpolar ocean currents to make one of the world’s most beautiful, natural sea salts.
