What Makes Wexford Sea Salt Special?


Wexford Sea Salt is 100% pure and natural, harvested by hand from the pristine waters of the Irish Sea along the sunny southeast coast of Ireland. We use traditional, sustainable methods to evaporate seawater naturally—without chemicals, anti-caking agents, or additives of any kind.

This slow and careful process preserves the full mineral complexity of the sea, resulting in a beautiful, clean-tasting sea salt that’s rich in essential trace elements like magnesium, calcium, and potassium—minerals your body needs for optimal health.

Why Does Sea Salt Sometimes Feel Damp?

Why Does Sea Salt Sometimes Feel Damp?


Wexford Sea Salt is completely natural and unrefined, meaning it retains essential trace minerals—especially magnesium, which plays a big role in how salt behaves in your kitchen.

Unlike processed table salt, which has anti-caking agents added, natural sea salt contains magnesium chloride. Magnesium is hygroscopic, meaning it naturally attracts moisture from the air. This can cause the salt in your jar to feel slightly damp or clump together over time—especially in humid environments.

This is a sign of quality, not a flaw. It’s proof that your salt hasn’t been tampered with or stripped of its natural goodness.

How to Store Your Wexford Sea Salt

How to Store Your Wexford Sea Salt

To keep your sea salt at its best:

Store it in an airtight jar or container to limit exposure to air and humidity.

Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or steam (like beside the cooker).

If clumps form, just give it a gentle stir or crush them with a spoon—no flavour or mineral value is lost.

At Wexford Sea Salt, we believe in keeping things as nature intended—pure, full of character, and good for you.
