Essence of the Alps

Essenz der Alpen, hand-boiled pan salt from Tyrol

Essenz der Alpen is a small Tyrolean salt manufactory run by Johanna Jenewein in Hall in Tirol. Using pure alpine natural brine, she boils pan salt by hand, offered pure as Alpine salt and Fleur de Sel or refined with herbs, stone pine, pepper, and blossoms. No industrial salt, but genuine craftsmanship in ceramic pots.

Essenz der Alpen stands for hand-boiled Alpine salt from the Tyrolean mountains, extracted from an ancient, unpolluted salt deposit deep beneath the Alps. Founder Johanna Jenewein has revived the centuries-old salt-making craft of Hall in Tirol and carefully reinterpreted it for today's kitchen. What began around 2020 as a small idea to counter the sea salt in the kitchen cupboard is now a fine manufactory with a whole shelf full of salt varieties, each hand-scooped, gently dried, and packaged in small clay pots.
