Ingredients List

Sea salt flakes (98%), Palmaria palmata (red seaweed aka Dulse) and chili powder (2% combined)

Icelandic Sea Salt with a Spicy Finish

Give your favorite dishes a little heat. Umami Sea Salt Type °05 Hot Volcano combines flaky Icelandic sea salt with Palmaria palmata seaweed and chili powder, bringing together saltiness, savory umami, and spice.

Developed by Icelandic Chef Völundur Völundarson, Hot Volcano is part of a collection inspired by Icelandic seaweed and the craft of traditional saltmaking.

Flavor & Texture

Chili powder brings the heat, while Palmaria palmata seaweed adds savory depth. The sea salt flakes provide a light crunch when sprinkled over finished dishes, or dissolve into food during cooking.

Use it wherever you want seasoning and a touch of chili in the same pinch.

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 and chili powder.

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 Hot Volcano Sea Salt

Use Hot Volcano during cooking or as a spicy finishing salt just before serving. Try these pairings:

  • Seafood: Sprinkle over grilled shrimp, pan-seared salmon, or fish tacos.
  • Steak: Finish sliced ribeye or grilled skirt steak with a small pinch.
  • Poultry and pork: Add to roasted chicken, grilled pork chops, or chicken wings.
  • Vegetables: Toss with roasted potatoes, grilled corn, or cauliflower.
  • Everyday favorites: Sprinkle over eggs, avocado toast, or freshly popped popcorn.

Start with a small pinch and taste before adding more. Use it in place of some of your usual salt to season without oversalting.
