Fully artisanal, mineral-dense, and hand-harvested from Portugal's Atlantic coast.
The Salt
Your ingredients' best friend
Silva Salt is the premium artisanal sea salt for serious home cooks. Hand-harvested from the traditional salt pans in Figueira da Foz, Portugal, our salt is fully traceable and embodies a mineral richness that makes every ingredient taste more like itself.
Why it is better
Atlantic purity
Our salt preserves in its crystals the minerals and micronutrients naturally present in sea water, in their natural ratio. As the water filters through algae, it picks up subtle traces of magnesium, giving Silva Salt its distinct, clean, oceanic flavour. This is why our salt makes ingredients sing: it enhances the flavours already present in your food, the way a great supporting actor makes the lead shine.
Fully traceable
Our salt is brought to you by a third-generation salt-farming family in Figueira da Foz, carrying forward a craft passed down through generations. Currently sourced from two producers, José and my uncle Paulo, our salt is rooted in a mission to revitalise the region and keep its salt-farming heritage alive for the next generation.
How to taste it
Let your palate experience it
Our salt has such a unique flavour profile that we ask everyone to try it. Grab two to three crystals and let them dissolve on your tongue. You will find that clean, oceanic flavour slowly unfolding across your palate. This is the best way to understand the difference our balanced mineral profile makes to your food.
