About Halen Mon
Halen Môn represents the pinnacle of artisan sea salt production, hand-harvested from the pristine waters of the Menai Strait off Wales's Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Môn). Founded in 1997 by Alison and David Lea-Wilson, this family company has grown from a kitchen Aga experiment into Wales's first EU Protected Designation of Origin food product, now exported to 16 countries worldwide. The story began when the Lea-Wilsons, who ran Anglesey Sea Zoo, noticed that their seahorses thrived and bred in the Menai Strait water. This observation sparked research at Bangor University and experiments combining traditional sea salt harvesting techniques with modern technology. The result is crystalline white, flat, soft flakes containing over 30 trace elements and absolutely nothing else - no additives, no bitterness, just pure organic-approved Welsh sea salt with remarkable depth of flavour. Celebrity endorsement speaks to Halen Môn's quality. The salt has been used at royal weddings, served at the London 2012 Olympics, and graces kitchens of renowned chefs including Heston Blumenthal and Gordon Ramsay. From Buddhist temples to Australian supermarkets, Halen Môn has found its way into discerning kitchens worldwide. Their award-winning visitor centre, Tŷ Halen, offers tours, a coffee shop, and even wild seaweed bathing experiences. Grocefully helps UK shoppers compare Halen Môn prices across supermarkets and delicatessens. Whether choosing their classic Pure Sea Salt flakes or flavoured varieties, our platform ensures you find the best value on this exceptional Welsh ingredient.
