Pacific Ocean Sea Salt is harvested from the clear waters of the great southern oceans surrounding New Zealand. These waters are evaporated in Solar Salt Fields using the natural process of sun and wind. At the end of each summer, the Pacific Ocean Sea Salt is carefully gathered so as to maintain the balance of minerals naturally present in salt. Pacific Ocean Sea Salt contains higher levels of Calcium, Magnesium and other minerals than normal table salt. To be used sparingly as the extra minerals already enhance the taste.
