The tour ended with us being given a little pot of Halen Môn sea salt to take away. And a bottle of water to keep us hydrated!

Anglesey Sea Salt Company - Halen Mon - Tripadvisor

Today, Halen Môn is enjoyed around the world by chefs and food lovers who marvel at the unique, flat crystalline flakes and clean taste of the Anglesey sea water, unmarred by any bitterness caused by excess calcium which can occur in other salts. Anglesey Sea Salt is derived from the Menai straits pure sea water which is naturally prefiltered through a sand bank and a mussel bank. As a testimony to the cleanliness of the water, even seahorses from the nearby zoo, which are famously fussy about their environment, take to the waters to breed. Mike led our tour and he was good at explaining the manufacturing process, with good humour. The tasting part was very interesting and really highlighted why Halen Môn salt is so good. We then bought some as well as other lovely items from their shop. We also heard very positive things from other visitors about the seaweed baths and that’s definitely on the list to try on a return visit. This is a must visit for your family and will convert you from ever using ordinary salt ever again.Whilst children are welcome to join the tour, it is primarily designed for adults. The charge for 8 years plus reflects this.
