Ingredients List

Sea salt flakes, Palmaria palmata (red seaweed aka Dulse), Alaria esculenta (brown seaweed aka Badderlocks)

Icelandic Sea Salt with Natural Umami Depth

A well-seasoned dish starts with great ingredients. Umami Sea Salt Type °01 Bára combines Icelandic sea salt flakes with two carefully selected seaweeds, adding savory depth to meat and fish.

Developed by Icelandic Chef Völundur Völundarson, Bára is part of a collection built around the flavor of Icelandic seaweed and the craft of traditional saltmaking.

Flavor & Texture

Bára balances the clean saltiness of sea salt with the savory character of Palmaria palmata and Alaria esculenta. The flakes add a light crunch when sprinkled over finished dishes, or dissolve into food when used during cooking.

Crafted in Iceland

The sea salt comes from Karlsey Island in Iceland’s Breiðafjörður Bay. Seawater is gently heated using natural geothermal energy to form crunchy flakes, which are then blended with hand-harvested seaweed.

Thoughtfully Packed in Cotton

Each box contains 80g / 2.8oz of sea salt, hand-packed in a cotton bag. Umami deliberately chooses cotton to allow the salt to breathe, avoiding plastic inner packaging.

The cotton bag sits inside a recyclable outer box, reflecting the same care given to the ingredients within.

How to Use Bára Sea Salt

Especially suited to red and white meat, Bára also complements seafood. Try these simple pairings:

  • Steak: Sprinkle over sliced ribeye, New York strip, or filet mignon just before serving.
  • Poultry and pork: Use to season before roasting or add a finishing pinch at the table.
  • Seafood: Finish pan-seared salmon, grilled fish, or buttery scallops.
  • Everyday cooking: Stir into pan sauces or sprinkle over roasted potatoes.

For finishing, start with a small pinch and adjust to taste. Add it just before serving to enjoy the texture of the flakes.
