Chirstmas Countdown #5: Halen Mon world famous sea salt

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me...

A storecupborad essential with a twist.


I know I bang on about Anglesey a lot (there's just so much fabulous local produce!), but this Halen Mon sea salt , which comes from Brynsiencyn on the Isle of Anglesey, is widely available across the UK and has even made its way to top chefs and restaurants around the globe.

Smoked Sea Salt Caramel Milk Chocolates made in the US using Halen Mon salt as a key ingredient are even declared as one of Obama's favourite sweets!

Halen Mon claim to have struck culinary gold with a saucepan of sea water ontop of the family Aga. They began supplying the local butcher in Menai Bridge 10 years ago and now supply Marks and Spencer, Waitrose and Harvey Nichols, along with over 100 of the nation’s best delicatessens, restaurants and chefs. The salt can also be found in 22 countries and some of the world's top restaurants.

Choose from pure white sea salt, sea salt smoked over Welsh Oak, spiced sea salt, pure salt with Tahitian vanilla and more...

The vanilla salt is beautiful on fish and I like to spice up potato wedges with the smoked or spicy flavours. My salt pig of pure white sea salt is always added to everyday dishes - as Halen Mon say themselves: "serving suggestion... just add food."

Gift sets and hampers are the perfect way to show your foodie friends you love them this Christmas:
