Notice Title

Invitation to Tender Supply of Specialist Heating Elements for the In Situ Heating of Brine

Notice Description

We are one of the very few sea salt industries harvesting from open waters, more specifically the protected waters of the Atlantic lapping at the shores of The Lizard, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Beneath the beauty is a totally unique geographical environment, which defines the taste and high mineral content of our sea salt. Serpentine, once so sought after in the Victorian era, and gabbro, are both rich in magnesium and calcium, two of the key minerals in our sea salt and essential to life on earth. From humble beginnings on the south Cornish coast, our sea salt has now become international selling in over 33 different countries. Our signature blue pots sit just as happily in Michelin-starred establishments as they do on the tables of home cooks who have an appreciation not only for taste and quality of artisan sea salt, but the exciting versatility and creativity it can bring to cooking. However, we wish to change the production methodology of how we extract the salt by using heating elements submerged in the brine tanks. We are therefore looking to purchase bespoke heating elements.
