Archie – Whitby Sea Salt

Whitby Sea Salt is a family-run business, begun in 2020 with a vision to create a high-quality sea salt using the natural resources of the North Sea. They use traditional salt-making methods and harvest using an old traditional fishing Coble, which owner Archie has carefully restored.

They also produce good quality vinegar, including smoked vinegar in an innovative collaboration with Fortune’s Kippers. Whitby Sea Salt’s commitment to sustainability and locally sourced ingredients makes their products a favourite among chefs, food enthusiasts, and environmentally conscious consumers.
