Like many chefs, I started out washing dishes in a local pub kitchen and waiting tables. It didn’t take long to realise that I wanted to be a chef—the buzz, the teamwork, the energy—it was intoxicating. As I worked in different kitchens, I knew I wanted to learn from the best

At Blackthorn, the weather makes or breaks much of our day —especially the wind. Like many across the country, Malky got to know Bert pretty well on Tuesday. We were relieved that it was only fierce winds, sparing heavy rainfall. Still, it kept us busy. #seasalt #stormbert

It takes around 5-8 days for the flakes to form, which allows us to capture approximately 6x more minerals and bark tannins - calcium for sweetness; NaCl for saltiness; potassium for sourness; magnesium for bitterness; and earthy blackthorn branch tannins for umami effects.

Un produit authentique venu d'Écosse, un sel d'exception ! 🧂✨ Merci à nos partenaires chez @BlackthornSalt pour cette merveille culinaire. #Gastronomie #Cuisine
Dans le sud-ouest de l'Ecosse, un étrange édifice intrigue les passants : une tour de 8 mètres de haut, pour produire du sel... à la verticale! Un produit d'exception : des cristaux comme des petits diamants, dont la finesse séduit plus d'un chef dans la région.

We’ve enjoyed a succession of record-breaking #BlackthornSalt harvests this summer! After each harvest, Blackthorn is briefly dried in the oven before being packed. The wonderful Scott, Michael and co. ensure that every box is made and packed with lots of tlc! 📷 Steven Kohl

One of our favourite things is to show children around #Blackthorn and we are touched when local schools ask to come along. So direct and totally on it, the children never fail to surprise us! The pictures and words bring so much joy, we often pull them out for smiles. 💚
