Opito Bay Salt Company

Opito Bay Salt Company is a multi-award winning sea salt farming business based in remote Opito Bay in the Coromandel.

Our business takes its sustainable credentials seriously and provenance is at the heart of our story and product. Being NZ's only maker of pure natural sea salt without any processing we are on a mission to share the story, the flavour and unique mineral qualities of our sea salt.

The business has won over 40 medals at two of NZ s most prestigious Food Awards and was recently a multiple winner at the Guild of Fine Food Awards in London-called the Great taste Awards. Every single salt in the market is a medal winner, most gold or multiple gold medal winners.

Our brand is synonymous with quality and over the past 5 years we have worked hard to create a super premium sea salt category in the NZ market. It can be found in over 150 specialty Food stores across NZ. Our sea salt is used by NZs elite chefs and top restaurants. 

Opito Bay Salt Company has featured on TV, radio and magazines across NZ, publications like NZ Herald, Dish, NZ Life and Leisure and Air NZ Kia Ora Magazine.
