Why is Murray River Salt So Special?

Murray River Salt® Flakes are produced using the pristine mineralized brines from the ancient saline aquifers of the Murray Darling Basin. The stunning pale pink hue of the salt flakes is a result of the mineralized brines used to make the salt products. 

Murray River Salt® Flakes are produced using the pristine mineralized brines from the ancient saline aquifers of the Murray Darling Basin. Mineralized brine is pumped into shallow lake beds and the sun does its work over many months and leaves a layer of salt to be harvested. 

Murray River Salt® Flakes are very soft and fragile and create a superior texture to your food as opposed to ordinary granulated table salt. Murray River Salt Flakes are not as ‘salty’ as table salt and they enhance the flavour rather than overpowering it. Murray River Salt products have a lower sodium level by volume than other salt products.
