Sign in Port Oriel, near Clogherhead

Oriel Sea Salt (Irish: salann sáile Oirialla) is a variety of Irish sea salt.[1]

History

Oriel Sea Salt was established at Port Oriel, Clogherhead in 2010 by Brian Fitzpatrick and John Delany. It extracts and harvests salt and minerals from Irish Sea seawater.[2]

It describes itself as "the only non-oxidised sea salt on the planet": the seawater is pumped from the seabed without being exposed to air, resulting in a naturally white salt with a fine powdery grain and a "smooth depth of flavour."[3]

They received Protected designation of origin in 2016.[4][5][6]
