Blackthorn salt

Discovered these beautiful Pyramid salt which are formed by sea water trickling through blackthorn twigs.
As the sea water seeps along the Blackthorn twigs, exposure to Scotland's west coast winds evaporate the salt water, concentrating the resultant brine. 
In the final stages the Blackthorn Salters combine skill and alchemy to create the perfect salt.
At the Specialty food fair, there was a mini model of the blacktorn salter in action and there were paper models which you could take home and make as well as salt samples which come in a nicely designed box.
The taste of the salt was really good with the usual saltiness but the best is the shape of these salt crystals which lovely pyramids.
