What happens from sea to jar?
Discover the traditional artisanal process behind Suffolk Sea Salt
Step One
Collection
Only when the elements are perfect, seawater is harvested where the cleanest Suffolk sea meets ancient salt marshes.
Step Two
Evaporation
The double-filtered brine is left to evaporate naturally under the Suffolk sun, allowing the pure sea salt crystals to form slowly over time.
Step Three
Crystal formation
Salt crystals begin to form, eventually covering the salt pond in a thick, white blanket of pure, mineral-rich Suffolk sea salt.
Step Four
Hand-harvested
The sea salt is carefully hand-harvested using traditional techniques to preserve the delicate crystal structure and natural mineral content.
Step Five
Perfectly packaged
Every crystal is meticulously inspected and weighed by hand into generous, wide-mouth glass jars designed for effortless pinching and easy-access cooking, capturing the essence of the Suffolk coast for your kitchen.

frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Suffolk Sea Salt and how it's made
Where and how is Suffolk Sea Salt harvested?
Suffolk Sea Salt is harvested by hand at Poppies Farm from seawater drawn at Felixstowe Ferry. After settling for around 48 hours, it is filtered and evaporated slowly by sun and wind in shallow pools and hand-harvested.
Is solar evaporation sustainable?
Yes. Solar evaporation uses the sun and wind to evaporate seawater instead of boiling it with gas or electricity.
What makes solar-evaporated Suffolk Sea Salt different from regular table salt?
Suffolk Sea Salt is natural and unrefined with no anti-caking additives. Slow evaporation keeps natural magnesium, calcium and potassium for a softer crunch and clean flavour.
Does Suffolk Sea Salt contain less sodium than table salt?
By weight, natural sea salt and table salt contain roughly the same proportion of sodium chloride.
However, because Suffolk Sea Salt's hand-harvested flakes have a larger crystal structure and a more concentrated, complex flavour, you often need to use less of it to achieve the same taste impact in your cooking.
Is Suffolk Sea Salt organic?
In the UK and Europe, salt is classified as a mineral rather than an agricultural product, so it cannot strictly be certified organic under soil association regulations.
However, Suffolk Sea Salt's harvesting process is as pure and natural as it gets: 100% natural sea water, zero additives and powered entirely by the sun and wind.
Does it contain microplastics or contaminants?
Before evaporation, the seawater passes through a dual-stage filtration process, including a 1-micron mesh. This helps remove fine particles while preserving the seawater’s natural minerals.
Does Suffolk Sea Salt expire?
Pure sea salt is a mineral and never truly expires. Because salt is a natural preservative, it remains safe to use indefinitely past any printed date as long as it stays clean and dry.
How should I store Suffolk Sea Salt?
Store it in a cool, dry place in its glass jar away from steam. If it absorbs moisture, warm it briefly on a baking tray on low heat.
Does Suffolk Sea Salt use eco-friendly packaging materials?
Yes, we are proudly plastic-free with refillable glass jars to reuse or recycle. Shipping boxes and tape are plastic-free too.
