Imagine the moment you finish searing a perfect steak, roasting seasonal vegetables or whipping up a Friday night cheese board for friends. That's when this remarkable salt steps in - and it'll become your new best friend!
Crafted by Apostle in New Zealand, this isn't your everyday finishing salt. It begins with pure Himalayan crystals, soaked in organic Hawke's Bay Pinot Noir until they drink in the wine's fruity depth and soft tannins before emerging a beautiful dusk-red. Then comes the artistry: layers of rosemary, thyme, celery, dill, coriander, and black pepper (the soul of Provençal cooking) mingling with the sweet richness of Black Doris plum and the bright notes of juniper and sumac.
The result? A salt that doesn't just season: it brings restaurant-level delicious to your kitchen, adding complexity and a good dollop of drama to everything it touches.
Why you'll love it
- Instant 'yum': Turn simple dishes into something special with one pinch
- Layered flavour: Wine-soaked crystals deliver fruity depth, herbs add aromatic warmth, plum brings sweetness, sumac adds tang
- Stunning presentation: The deep red crystals make every plate look next level
- So versatile: Perfect on red meat, roasted vegetables, soft cheeses, buttered bread, or even dark chocolate desserts
- Thoughtfully crafted: Made in New Zealand with organic Hawke's Bay wine and carefully selected botanicals
How to use it
This is a finishing salt: add it at the end of cooking or at the table. Sprinkle over grilled lamb, ribeye, or venison. Crush between your fingers and strew over roasted root vegetables and hasselback (or just plain) potatoes. Scatter across a cheese board with aged cheddar or blue. Try a pinch on a caramel or chocolate tart for an unexpected flavour twist.
Keep it in a small dish on your table or by the stove - you'll reach for it constantly once you discover how it transforms everyday cooking into something memorable.

The Apostle story began when Lydia and Mat, moved to Paekākāriki in 2018. Mat had been experimenting with sauces, ferments and spice mixes for years, so in an effort to connect with their new community they started selling Mat’s homemade creations at the village market.
Encouraged by an overwhelmingly positive response, they turned their hobby into a business at the end of 2019. Combining Mat’s love of crafting unique sauces with Lydia’s background in graphic design, Apostle was launched.
Using high-quality ingredients like organic apple cider vinegar and cold-pressed, New Zealand rapeseed oil or locally grown chillies and Kawakawa from their garden. Flavours are inspired by the wonderfully diverse culinary landscape of Aotearoa. A melting pot of different cultures and styles of cuisine, blending the very best of local flavours to make every dish one to enjoy.
Drawing on Roman Catholic artwork, Greek Orthodox iconography, Irish illuminated manuscripts and Tarot de Marseille for inspiration, each label is designed to be a miniature work of art, hand-drawn by the remarkably talented Juju. Today, Apostle operates from a dedicated commercial kitchen space, still based on the Kāpiti Coast as a team of three.
The range has expanded to include other sacred sides such as hot honey, chilli oil and kimchi ketchup and is now stocked in more than 200 stores across New Zealand, Australia, Japan and the UK.
But the core focus remains the same: creating small-batch, lovingly crafted products that bring joy to your meals.
