JEJU SALT · TECHNOLOGY
From lava seawater
to salt crystals
Naturally filtered through basalt, our source water undergoes a temperature-controlled process of concentration, crystallization and drying.

PROCESS
Six steps. Carefully crafted.
Intake → Concentration → Crystallization → Drying → Sorting → Packing
- 01
Water intake
We source our lava seawater from a facility licensed for food production and managed by Jeju Province.
- 02
Concentration
We remove moisture from the source water to create a concentrated brine.
- 03
Crystallization
In the salt room, the concentrate is finely atomized. Temperature control allows moisture to evaporate and salt crystals to form.
- 04
Drying
The salt crystals are carefully dried for 24 hours.
- 05
Sorting
We select the salt that meets our quality standards.
- 06
Packing
Before packing, our salt passes through a metal detector to check for metal contaminants. It is then packed into containers.




METHOD
Precise temperature control. From water to salt.
Our temperature-controlled process evaporates moisture from lava seawater to concentrate the brine and form salt crystals.
