Just 50km from Mount Zero’s olive grove in Western Victoria is a lake which dries out each summer to reveal a bed of salmon-coloured pink salt.
Mount Zero and the lake’s traditional owners, the Barengi Gadjin Land Council have been working together to hand harvest a small amount of salt from the lake each year.
This natural pink salt is a concentrated store of natural mineral nutrients – rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulphur, iron, manganese, zinc and copper as well as being rich in beta carotene.
This complexity of minerals, provides a complex, well rounded flavour – dissimilar to many sharp-tasting refined salts.
