Cambrian Rosemary Salt
Awarded 2 stars at Great Taste 2026

Our rosemary salt is made using a traditional maceration method, where fresh rosemary is combined with natural unrefined sea salt and left to rest over time. During this period, the salt slowly absorbs the rosemary’s essential oils, allowing flavour to integrate naturally rather than being forced or blended.
This approach produces a deeper, more rounded rosemary salt than standard herb-and-salt mixes made with dried ingredients. It is a slower process, and one that is now rarely seen in the UK, but it results in a seasoning with greater balance, savoury depth, and consistency in the kitchen.
Once macerated, the salt is gently dried and ground by hand for a suitable texture. It is intended as a finishing salt, for roasted potatoes and vegetables, meat, bread, and simple dishes where restraint and clarity of flavour matter.
We offer this herb salt in small tins for home kitchens.
Great Taste judges praised its “super fresh-tasting rosemary” and said the time and care involved could be tasted in the clarity of the herb’s flavour.
