The salt blocks/slabs come in 9 different sizes, weighing as much as 19lbs each. Saltworks, America's Sea Salt Company is one of the most trusted names in the salt World and is supplying the salt blocks to the UK.

The launch event is being hosted by Mark Bitterman, author of best seller books “Salted” and “Salt Block Cooking”. Mark will be demonstrating all the uses of the salt slabs as well as offering Master classes during his week long visit to London to promote the salt slabs and also to educate on 'more is less', with the use of salts in cooking.

The Salt Blocks are expected to be the must have gift for every foodie in the UK and already interest is mounting from the public, chefs, restaurants and the food service industry.  An exciting crowdfunding campaign has been launched to meet the increasing demand for the blocks.
