More about the Brand Owner

Gregorie & Whirly Marshall

Gregorie & Whirly Marshall

The Marshalls have been in the salt industry in Ayrshire, Scotland since 1874. Believing in the potential of the "salt tower," a historical salt-making technology that has been passed down since around the 6th century in Europe, it was at the beginning of the 21st century that he worked on a salt-making method that utilized the natural power of wind and sun. The environmentally friendly and sustainable salt-making method created by people and nature, as well as the powerful saltiness and umami produced by this technology, were highly praised, and King Charles also visited the "Salt Tower". In addition, this salt production method requires technology, experience, and intuition to control the amount of water depending on the temperature, weather, and wind direction, and we are also focusing on training experienced craftsmen who have learned history and gained experience.

Auto-translated
Show original
"Blackthorn Sea Salt" is a master salter and a part of the soul of its founder, Gregory. For his family business, which has been involved in salt production since the 1800s, salt is truly his life's work.
His drive and unwavering determination to create "salt with value for tomorrow's world" while respecting the traditions of his ancestors led him to study the traditional use of the power of nature to make salt. I traveled all over Europe to study some of the remaining salt production methods and visited the salt towers that were used to make salt around the 6th century, and realized how amazing they are for the environment and how sustainable they are.
However, this is the first attempt to make salt using a tower with seawater instead of salt water. Inspired by inspiration, Gregory finally achieved satisfactory results after 12 years of construction of Blackthorne Tower on Ayrshire, the west coast of Scotland.
The first salt tower in the UK and the world to use seawater. Gregory's expertise and foresight in salt were unmistakable, and "Blackthorne Sea Salt" was the crystallization of his passion and adventure.
　
　

What are we doing?

1. It all starts with the sea
"Blackthorn Sea Salt" is made in Ayrshire, the west coast of Scotland. The Firth of Clyde, which forms deep coastal waters and small fjords in the British Isles, is blessed with high water quality and rich minerals.
The seawater used is from the coast of Troon, located a little north of Ayrshire, and carries particularly high-quality and highly salinized seawater. This is because it has a high mineral content and a high salt concentration, so it efficiently produces high-quality salt with depth of taste.
　
2. Amazing Technology of Salt Towers
Seawater pumped over the 8m high salt tower is poured out of wooden taps in small portions. The drops fall down along the branches of the black thorn that are built all over the wall of the tower, and become thick seawater due to the wind from the sea and the heat of the sun.
Gregory, a master salter and founder who learned the history and techniques of salt making, and Markey, an engineer. The two craftsmen use the power of nature to create thick seawater by adjusting the 54 faucets installed at the top of the tower based on experience and senses, depending on the climate, temperature, wind direction, humidity, etc.
　
3. Bread House
The salt craftsman heats the concentrated seawater in a flat pot at about 40 degrees Celsius and crystallizes it. And as the crystal grows, various elements are taken in in a balanced manner.
Nutrients such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, and tannins found in blackthorn branches.
Magnesium, calcium, and potassium are especially superior to regular sea salt.
　
We add artisanal salt making intricate knowledge and techniques to the pumped seawater and add nothing but gentle heat.
It took 12 years to perfect an environmentally friendly salt production method using the sea, wind, and sun, but the salt production "for the earth" was completed as "Blackthorn Sea Salt" with a rich taste.
　

Commitment to the product

"Blackthorn Sea Salt" contains many minerals that are the blessings of the sea.
In order to enhance the five basic taste sensations rather than just saltiness, the old-fashioned production process using the power of nature using salt towers brings out the full potential of seawater.

you taste nature – the sea, the winds and the thorns.
Sea, wind, thorns. The message of "Blackthorne Sea Salt" is to use nature as food.
　
The first thing you feel when you put sea salt in your mouth is a firm salty taste. The saltiness quickly draws off sharply, and then spreads throughout the mouth with a powerful "umami" flavor created by the complex taste sensation of minerals and tannins. It contains more magnesium and potassium, which affect the sense of taste, than ordinary salt, and the tannins contained in the bark of spinosa peach create an exquisite taste with a slight astringency and acidity.
Meat and fish have an overflowing "umami" with saltiness and sweetness, and vegetables and fruits have a stronger "sweetness" in harmony with just the right amount of acidity, bringing out the individuality of all ingredients, and bringing out the rich flavor hidden in the ingredients in any cooking method and adding depth to the taste.
　
And sea salt, with its rich flavor, received the highest 3 stars in 2024 at the Great Taste Awards, a world-renowned food competition in the UK.
　
　

Who are supporting us?

Carefully crafted and delicious.
Environmentally friendly and sustainable salt production systems have the potential of the future, and even as salt, they have a good taste and high nutritional value.

Since then, it has gradually attracted global attention, and it has been used by restaurants in three-Michelin-starred and five-star hotels, as well as by renowned chefs.
