A high quality and unique Icelandic sea salt company, located in the remote Westfjords of Iceland. Saltverk uses geothermal energy to slowly harvest high-quality salt with unique flavors like birch smoked, arctic thyme, and seaweed. At their factory, you can both witness the making of the salt and get tours of the process as well as buy some of their unique variations of salt.
