Meet Jeju Mineral Salt on film

LAVA SEAWATER

Clear, clean water
from Jeju’s ancient sea

Lava seawater is saline groundwater naturally filtered through Jeju’s volcanic rock layers.

Seawater seeping through Jeju’s volcanic rock layers is naturally filtered by basalt. This saline groundwater is the source water we use to make our salt.

01

Stability

Jeju Technopark describes the source water’s small daily and seasonal variations in physical properties.

02

Source-water testing

The microplastics report commissioned by Jeju Technopark concerns the lava seawater used as our raw material.

03

Salt testing

Self-quality inspection reports dated July 7 and October 7, 2026 record lead and cadmium as not detected in the salt samples tested.

04

Mineral composition

Jeju Technopark describes the source water’s mineral composition and industrial uses.

What makes lava seawater different

Lava seawater is saline groundwater drawn on land from beneath Jeju’s volcanic rock layers.

Raw material

Our salt is not made directly from seawater. Saline groundwater, known as lava seawater, makes up 100% of our raw material.

MINERALS

MANUFACTURING METHODPrecise temperature control. From water to salt.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

From lava seawater
to salt crystals

Naturally filtered through basalt, our source water undergoes a temperature-controlled process of concentration, crystallization and drying.

WATER INTAKE

A food-licensed facility administered by Jeju Province

  1. 01

    Water intake

    We source our lava seawater from a facility licensed for food production and managed by Jeju Province.

  2. 02

    Concentration

    We remove moisture from the source water to create a concentrated brine.

  3. 03

    Crystallization

    In the salt room, the concentrate is finely atomized. Temperature control allows moisture to evaporate and salt crystals to form.

  4. 04

    Drying

    The salt crystals are carefully dried for 24 hours.

  5. 05

    Sorting

    We select the salt that meets our quality standards.

  6. 06

    Packing

    Before packing, our salt passes through a metal detector to check for metal contaminants. It is then packed into containers.

Our temperature-controlled process evaporates moisture from lava seawater to concentrate the brine and form salt crystals.
