TekSalt
TekSalt by Cornish Sea Salt: A New Standard in Food Manufacturing
Born from the innovative minds here at Cornish Sea Salt, TekSalt is not just another salt option—it's a revolution in food manufacturing, designed to meet the evolving demands of the market.
TekSalt is manufactured by Cornish Sea Salt, to address the challenge faced by food manufacturers' NPD teams with objective to lower sodium levels in food products while retaining taste.
TekSalt brings innovation into the natural sea salt process by harnessing the natural balance of sea salt minerals and electrolytes, including calcium, potassium, and magnesium, to give reduced sodium levels and high taste intensity. Designed for the challenges of the food industry, TekSalt offers a natural solution to the use of alternative lower sodium salts that can have a negative impact through taste and health claims.

Why TekSalt stands out:
Lower sodium, higher taste intensity
With TekSalt, you can achieve lower sodium levels without sacrificing flavour. Say goodbye to the blandness, or even unpleasant flavour, often associated with low-sodium alternatives - TekSalt delivers taste without compromise.
Free-flowing and manufacturing ready
TekSalt is designed with the needs of food manufacturers in mind. Its free-flowing nature simplifies the seasoning process, ensuring consistency and ease of use in production.
Sustainability and provenance
We take pride in our strong sustainability and history. TekSalt is made from natural sea salt crystals enriched with a unique brine from the Cornish Sea Salt Co, capturing the essence of the Grade A Cornish waters, and the unique geology of the Lizard peninsula. Produced in our eco-friendly salt house, powered by our own solar, and renewable energy, just meters from the shoreline.
TekSalt isn't just a salt—it's a testament to innovation and quality in food manufacturing. With its unmatched blend of flavour and functionality, experience the TekSalt difference for yourself.
“What we love about TekSalt is that it is a mineralised sea salt, lower in sodium and has a higher taste intensity. We have changed our manufacturing guidelines across the group to include TekSalt as our salt of choice.”

How it works
We've optimised our electrolytic bitten, a natural derivative of our sea salt harvesting process. Through painstaking development, including the use of electromagnetic imaging, we have refined this process and generated an ultra-rich natural cocktail of beneficial natural minerals which we use to laminate sea salt crystals. Our unique sodium depleted bitten is highly concentrated in natural flavour-enhancing minerals, all derived from the purest Oceanic waters, based on calcium, magnesium and other elements.
With this enhancement, we created a salt that has a balanced mineral profile, therefore not relying on potassium, but several other natural sea minerals such a calcium and magnesium to provide intense salty flavour. Less salt is needed to maintain the flavour profile food manufacturers need to maintain.
What it does
It can replace commonly used PDV salt (as well as other salts) to reduce sodium levels in food manufacturing and help companies reach the WHO and PHE sodium-reduction targets. The balanced mineral profile means less salt is needed to maintain the flavour profile of existing products, reducing the need for expensive and time-consuming development to adjust recipes to account for the change.
For food manufacturers that have already made the switch to lower-sodium alternatives, it can be used to improve the flavour profile of the food, as well as removing the bitter metallic taste that sodium-replacers high in potassium create.
Some lower sodium salts have high potassium which comes with its own negative health effects, but TekSalt balances sodium and potassium with magnesium. Magnesium is an essential nutrient, required for muscle and nerve function, regulating blood pressure and sugar levels, as well as for production of protein, bone and DNA.
The difference is easy to see; regular table salt has a uniform shape whereas Cornish Sea Salt has a pyramid appearance due to the abundance of natural sea minerals and electrolytes, giving taste in quadrophonic.
