Saltverk Pure Flaky Sea Salt is extracted from the stream of the Arctic Ocean in Iceland which seems to be the cleanest place on the planet. It is produced with 100% geothermal energy, which is good for the environment, and comes in small glass jars. I use this sea salt and love it! For more information, read below.

I have described Salverk flaky salt’s unique features in my Saltverk Flaky Sea Salt Review. In short, in my opinion, Saltverk embodies a passion for food, sustainability, and Icelandic heritage, crafting a carbon-neutral sea salt using geothermal energy and pristine Icelandic seawater. Its bold, mineral-rich flavor and delicate flake texture elevate every dish while cooking, brining, curing, or finishing.
I have been using Saltverk Sea Salt for years now, and I am satisfied with its performance and quality. The 3.17 oz (90 g) glass jar lasts our family of three a month or so. I believe this salt a great holiday gift for someone who is into cooking.
As for heavy metal content, the company’s test reports reveal the following levels:
- lead: 0.0301 mg/kg
- cadmium: <0.004 mg/kg
- mercury: <0.007 mg/kg, and
- arsenic: <0.06 mg/kg.
To clarify, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic levels are insignificant. As for lead, its level is the best I have seen in salt so far. We can consume 16 grams of this sea salt a day and still won’t exceed a daily California Proposition 65 limit for reproductive toxicity, which is 0.5 mcg/day.
For your information, 2 times out of 3 I ordered this sea salt from Amazon, most glass jars came completely shattered because there was no insulation between them.
