WHERE IT ALL STARTED

Our Story

Khoisan Trading Company (Pty) Ltd was established in 1994.   Khoisan produces a mineral rich, pure natural unrefined sea salt which is hand harvested in the traditional manner.

It all started in 1991 when Yntze Schrauwen, of the Velddrif Salt Works, designed and laid out the pilot scheme for the salt pans. After three years of extensive research and planning he successfully achieved results when the first sea salt crystals were harvested.

Fascinating Facts

DID YOU KNOW?

PURITY AND MINERAL CONTENT

Hand-harvested salt, often retains more trace minerals because it is minimally processed. These minerals can contribute to a more complex flavor profile compared to highly refined table salt.

SALT TEXTURE

Hand-harvested salt usually has a distinctive texture, such as flaky or coarse grains. This texture can enhance the sensory experience of eating and is often
preferred by chefs for finishing dishes.

PRODUCTION METHODS

Hand-harvested salt is collected through traditional methods, involving evaporating seawater in shallow ponds and manually raking the salt crystals. This artisanal process contrasts with the industrial methods used to produce most common table salt, which involve mining and extensive refining.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

The traditional methods used to produce hand-harvested salt are generally considered more sustainable and have a lower environmental impact compared to the large-scale industrial processes used for producing refined salt.

SALT ADDITIVES

Table salt often contains additives like anti-caking agents and iodine.  Hand-harvested salt is free of these additives, making it a more natural product.
