It is national dessert day. Perfectly timed to celebrate the cozy, comforting flavors of autumn. We might be a little biased but dessert is better with salt.

We have a recipe for these Caramels on saltverk.com and for these you can choose between finishing with Birch Smoked Salt, Licorice Salt or Lava salt.

Great ideas deserve another century!

The Danish king established salt production in the Westfjords in the 18th century using geothermal energy to produce salt. The production stopped a few decades later and the tradition of saltmaking in Iceland came to an end.

But the tradition was not lost forever - in 2011 Saltverk was founded and reestablished salt making in Iceland. Sustainable and hand - harvested, just like in the 18th century.

Við erum virkilega stolt af því að hafa verið valin í hópi framúrskarandi fyrirtækja hjá Creditinfo núna fjórða árið í röð en Saltverk er þar í hópi 2% íslenskra fyrirtækja.

Viðurkenningin er ein önnur staðfesting á því að þrotlaus vinna og stefnufesta skipta máli. Þetta ár markar einmitt 15 ár síðan Saltverk hóf starfsemi sína og á þessu afmælisári er gott að líta yfir farinn veg.

Að framleiða salt á Reykjanesinu með einungis náttúrulegum orkugjafa, jarðhitanum á svæðinu, hefur oft reynst áskorun. En áskorunin hefur þó verið gríðarlega skemmtileg og með traustu og tryggu teymi, sem margir hverjir hafa verið með okkur meginpart starfseminnar, hefur fyrirtækið staðið keikt.

Árangur Saltverk hefur komið í skrefum, jafnt og þétt. Hugmyndafræðin alltaf sú sama en sú hugmyndafræði, ásamt vinnu sem einkennist af þolinmæði, hefur borið saltið okkar yfir hafið og í hillur stórverslana í Bandaríkjunum og í Danmörku, auk þess sem að Saltverk er nú fáanlegt á bæði Amazon og iHerb. Smám saman, og án þess að flýta sér um of, hefur Saltverk stækkað og stendur nú í hillum og í eldhúsum út um allan heim.

Turns out sheep like it salty too.

In summer, Icelandic sheep roam free. Some graze on seaweed washed up on the shore.

Right now, in September, farmers are gathering them for 'Réttir', the annual autumn round-up, bringing the flocks home before winter.

The salt that falls on our production floor goes to local farmers in the Westfjords, who feed it to their flocks through the dark months. Nothing goes to waste.

When does Licorice Salt work?

More often than you'd think.

Here it is paired with chocolate ganache tart with sour raspberry.

What have you paired it with?

Cured salmon: graflax in Icelandic. Here with seaweed salt.

Old nordic method of preserving fresh fish. Still really festive and popular because it just tastes so damn good. Best on toasted bread.

"Before Saltverk, no one had harvested sea salt using 100% geothermal energy. There was no manual to reference, so we had to create and finetune our own process. It took lots of trial and error. " - Björn Steinar Jónsson, CEO and founder
