Natural salt from the Salzkammergut

The natural salts from the Salzkontor in the World Heritage Site of Hallstatt come from the salt mine in Altaussee in the Salzkammergut and from the Himalayas and are over 250 million years old. This crystal salt or mountain salt has matured under massive pressure in the mountains and is mined by hand according to old mining traditions. The natural salt is not subject to industrial intervention or mechanical treatment and is therefore a natural mixture of minerals and trace elements. It consists of the same 84 elements that have built up the earth and thus our bodies.

Salt applications
