ANGLESEY SEA SALT | HALEN MON PDO
‘Authenticity’ is a word which is often over-used, however when it comes to Anglesey Sea Salt and Halen Môn, there is no other way to describe this innovation.
In 1997, Alison and David Lea Wilson boiled Anglesey sea water on their Aga and unknowingly initiated a hugely successful company. They are now ambassadors for their globally renowned salt which is completely additive free and contains over 30 naturally occurring trace elements and minerals.
Today, Halen Môn is enjoyed around the world by chefs and food lovers who marvel at the unique, flat crystalline flakes and clean taste of the Anglesey sea water, unmarred by any bitterness caused by excess calcium which can occur in other salts. Anglesey Sea Salt is derived from the Menai straits pure sea water which is naturally prefiltered through a sand bank and a mussel bank. As a testimony to the cleanliness of the water, even seahorses from the nearby zoo, which are famously fussy about their environment, take to the waters to breed.
To celebrate and amplify the extraordinary stories behind this proudly Welsh product, Anglesey Sea Salt / Halen Môn was awarded PDO status in 2014. This means that we can protect its status as the only sea salt harvested from the Menai Straits between the Island of Anglesey and mainland North Wales.
Mae 'dilysrwydd' yn air sy'n cael ei orddefnyddio'n aml, ond does dim ffordd arall o ddisgrifio'r arloesedd hwn pan mae Anglesey Sea Salt a Halen Môn dan sylw.
Yn 1997, berwodd Alison a David Lea Wilson ddŵr môr Ynys Môn ar eu popty Aga ac yn ddiarwybod iddynt, gwnaethant ddechrau cwmni hynod lwyddiannus. Erbyn hyn maent yn llysgenhadon i'w halen byd-enwog sy'n gwbl rhydd rhag ychwanegion ac yn cynnwys dros 30 o elfennau a mwynau naturiol.
Heddiw, caiff Halen Môn ei fwynhau ledled y byd gan gogyddion a'r rheiny sy'n frwd dros fwyd ac sy'n rhyfeddu ar fflochiau crisialog gwastad, unigryw a blas glân dŵr môr Môn, heb unrhyw chwerwder a achosir gan ormod o galsiwm a all ddigwydd mewn halwynau eraill. Daw Halen Môn o ddŵr môr pur afon Menai sydd wedi'i hidlo yn naturiol ymlaen llaw drwy lan dywod a glan o gregyn gleision. Yn brawf i lendid y dŵr, mae hyd yn oed morfeirch yn mynd yno i fridio, ac mae'r rheiny'n enwog o ffyslyd ynghylch eu hamgylchedd.
I ddathlu ac amlygu'r straeon arbennig wrth wraidd y cynnyrch Cymreig balch hwn, dyfarnwyd statws PDO i Halen Môn yn 2014. Mae hyn yn golygu y gallwn ddiogelu ei statws fel yr unig halen môr a gynaeafir o'r Afon Menai rhwng Ynys Môn a thir mawr gogledd Cymru.
