Partner Collaborations
Just as it existed when traded ounce for ounce for gold eight thousand years ago. We add nothing and we take nothing away.
As an owner-managed brand (OMB), Oryx Desert Salt appreciates and supports other OMBs by actively promoting local brands. It’s part of our philosophy that understands we don’t operate in isolation. We enjoy collaborating with other like-minded brands because we’re all on the same journey; helping to create a better world through what we produce and the ecologically-aligned way we produce it
SUNDRIED, UNREFINED, NO ADDITIVES
As nature intended – no additives, no anti-clumping agents, no preservatives. Dried by the hot African desert sun. Unrefined and unprocessed. The underground brine lake is 100% saturated, so it takes only 4 weeks for the salt to crystalise in our main harvest season in summer when the temperatures reach up to 47o.
The underground streams converge and replenish an ancient underground lake of 55 million tons from which the salt water is pumped, laid on the pan under the hot Kalahari sun and sun-dried. This process lives in harmony with the natural rainfall and the surrounding environment. We only extract what nature provides.
SUSTAINABLE & RENEWABLE
The ancient Dwyka rock formations, through which the underground streams flow, are geo-scientifically tested to be 250-300 million years old. The 50km2 salt pan is situated in the Kalahari Desert of 900,000km2, inside the Kalahari Basin which spans an area of 2.5 million km². 50km’s south of Botswana and +-250km north of Upington. A remote, pristine and beautiful area. The name KALAHARI is derived from the Tswana word Kgalagadi, meaning ‘the great thirst’.
Ancient Pristine Source
Oryx Desert Salt has a unique and exceptional taste, which enhances and enriches the flavour of your food. Chefs from around the world taste the difference.
“No dish at Restaurant is complete without a pinch of Oryx Desert Salt.” – Jan Hendrik – South Africa’s first Michelin-star chef
“ORYX desert salt is a great food salt. I use it as a salt on a day to day basis, as well as a finishing salt. The salt is everything I look for when it comes to flavour.” – Craig Cormack, SALT restaurant, Waterford Wine Estate, Somerset West.
LOVED BY INTERNATIONAL CHEFS
The success of our business is built on strong partnerships and suppliers. We believe in impact sourcing; supporting small, often women-owned businesses, suppliers who engage in community upliftment such as Backyard farms who supply our chillies and independent co-operative farmers who produce our Madagascan pepper. We also build collaborative relationships with chefs and cooking schools. We give back through contributing to Kalahari First Nation Khomani San and Mier communities via the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Project Biome, a regenerative, Earth-rewilding program.
