Frequently Asked Questions
What is flaky sea salt?
Flaky sea salt is a finishing salt with large, delicate crystals that dissolve quickly on the tongue and add a satisfying crunch. Unlike table salt, it's not meant for cooking — it's sprinkled on food just before serving to enhance flavour and texture.
How is Sea Cove salt different from table salt?
Table salt is mined from underground deposits, heavily processed, and often contains anti-caking additives. Sea Cove salts are hand-harvested from the cold, clean Atlantic waters off the coast of Newfoundland, then naturally dried. The result is a pure, mineral-rich salt with complex flavour and zero additives.
How do I use flaky sea salt?
Use it as a finishing salt — sprinkle it on just before eating. It works beautifully on grilled meats, roasted vegetables, salads, eggs, pasta, fresh bread, and even desserts like chocolate or caramel. A little goes a long way.
What makes the Black Lava salt black?
Our Black Lava Flaky Sea Salt is blended with activated charcoal, which gives it its dramatic dark colour. It has a mild, earthy flavour and is especially striking as a garnish on light-coloured dishes like fish, eggs, or cheese.
What does Spruce Tip salt taste like?
Our Spruce Tip salt has a subtle, woodsy flavour with a fresh citrus undertone — a distinctly Newfoundland taste. It pairs especially well with seafood, game meats, and roasted root vegetables.
How much salt comes in each bag?
Our salts come in 50g and 100g bags. Because flaky salt is used as a finishing salt rather than a cooking salt, a 50g bag typically lasts several months with regular use.
Are your salts food safe and tested?
Yes. All Sea Cove Salts are food-grade, naturally harvested, and contain no artificial additives or preservatives.
