Icelandic Salt

Planning a trip to Iceland? Most of us think of smoked salmon and hot dogs (they are world-famous check out our blog on them) but very few of us think of salt. So for a pinch of Iceland, check out Saltverk, Iceland’s sustainable flaky sea salt. Dating to the 18th century, salt was produced in Iceland’s Westfjords, but production stopped long ago. Saltverk, an Icelandic company established in 2011, brought back salt production to Iceland. Using traditional methods they hand-harvest the salt as it was once done for Danish Royalty. The salt comes in several interesting flavors including birch smoked, lava, seaweed, arctic thyme, and licorice salt. Check out our small group trip to Iceland.

BraeVal

Named after the Scottish word for the Upland River Valleys that exist between the mountains and the rugged braes of the Scottish Highlands where streams and rivers tumble to loch and sea, BraeVal’s tartan shirts are perfect for travel. Made from a technically advanced proprietary all-natural Tiera fabric with tartan patterns and details like red buffalo plaid around the neck and cuffs, found nowhere else, these shirts for men and women travel well in the field or out on the town. Check out our new trip to Scotland, England, and Wales.
