What Makes Red Alaea Salt Special?
Unlike regular sea salt, Red Alaea Salt gets its rich color from volcanic clay, called "Alaea," found only in Hawaii. This clay is naturally high in iron oxide and gives the salt its signature red hue along with trace minerals that add depth and complexity to its flavor.
This salt was traditionally used in ancient Hawaiian ceremonies for purification and blessing rituals — and it’s still used today for cooking and preserving food in an authentic Hawaiian way.

How is Red Alaea Salt Made?
Our Red Alaea Salt starts with pure Pacific sea salt, harvested from Hawaiian waters. The salt is then blended with all-natural red Alaea clay, infusing it with minerals and giving it its signature earthy flavor.
This process honors Hawaiian salt-making traditions — slow, natural, and deeply connected to the land and sea.
