Mount Zero Pink Lake Natural Salt
50km from the Mount Zero olive grove, in Western Victoria is a large pink salt lake. The lake is fed by natuarl salt aquifers and each summer dries to reveal a bed of salmon pink salt. Mount Zero and the lake's traditional owners, the Barengi Gadjin Land Council, have been working together to hand harvest a small amount of the salt each year.
An analysis of the salt tells us that it is a concentrated store of natural mineral nutrients, rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulphur, iron, manganese, zinc, and copper as well as being rich in beta carotene. This complexity of minerals provides a complex, well rounded flavour - dissimilar to many sharp refined salts.
Mount Zero Pink Lake Salt is a natural product which varies in pigment from wet to dry. The local provenance of the salt, along with the hand harvesting and natural sun drying and most importantly the salts beautiful flavour and colour are a key fit with Mount Zero's core principals of regionalism, sustainability and quality.
Available in 250g Salt Mill, 300g Fine Salt and 300g Coarse Salt Refill
