In the heart of Chef Volundur Volundarson’s kitchen, a deep fascination with Icelandic salt and seaweed sparked the creation of Umami Sea Salt. What began as curiosity turned into an obsession as Chef Volundarson spent years delving into the complex flavors and hidden benefits of Icelandic seaweed.
Partnering with universities and research facilities worldwide, he meticulously studied each variety, exploring their unique flavor profiles and nutritional properties. Back in his kitchen, Chef Volundarson embarked on an ambitious journey of experimentation, blending seaweed with Icelandic salt in countless ways.
After numerous trials, he discovered something extraordinary: Umami Sea Salt. This collection features four distinctive varieties, each crafted from different types of Icelandic seaweed, creating flavor experiences that are truly phenomenal.
Umami Sea Salt isn’t just about flavor; it’s a product that honors the natural world. Because Icelandic salt needs to breathe, traditional plastic or airtight containers simply wouldn’t work. Instead, we created custom cotton bags, ensuring the salt stays fresh while maintaining its integrity. Each bag is placed in recyclable, sustainably sourced boxes, reflecting our commitment to leaving the smallest possible carbon footprint. No plastic. No glass. Zero waste.
Umami Sea Salt is just one of Chef Volundarson’s creations. If you’re interested in exploring more, visit our seaweed supplement store at Iceland Organic and discover the broader world of Icelandic seaweed.
Even a small sprinkle of Umami Sea Salt can take your taste buds on a flavorful journey 👌🏻
