Hollow Balinese Pyramid Salt harvested by Hand using ancient traditional Balinese methods. It comes from the beaches around the base of Gunung Agung, Bali's largest active volcano.
Balinese Pyramid Salt comes from the beaches around the base of Gunung Agung, Bali's largest active volcano, and draws upon a 900 year tradition of salt farming. This unique region along Bali's eastern coastline is home to salt water with an unusual chemistry, occurring when cold water from the north mixes with warm tropical water in the Lombok Straight to create salt with a mild and sweet flavour.
What gives the salt it's beautiful, delicate 4-sided pyramid shape? The reason for this formation is unknown, and local people attribute it to "the hand of god."
Based upon a 900 year old tradition, this salt is produced by solar evaporation using 100% natural methods. Traditionally this was done on a small scale by individual farmers, but contemporary infrastructure including enclosed greenhouses have enabled local growers to produce a consistent product on a commercially viable scale.
