Our raw material is Jeju lava seawater
We make salt using Jeju lava seawater as the raw material. This is Jeju seawater that has passed through basalt, been naturally filtered, and remained underground. Our lava seawater article explains where the water comes from.
From seawater to salt
We concentrate the raw water we draw, then finely spray the concentrate to evaporate moisture and form salt crystals. After drying and selection, the salt passes through a metal detector before being put into containers for packaging. You can see the steps from water intake to packaging on our page about the lava seawater salt-making process.
