OUR STORY

Drawn to the Ocean

As an artist, I was always drawn to transformation and seeing seawater transform into salt is something extraordinary. Salt is a magical substance, with a deep history tied to friendship, ritual and life itself. What began as curiosity has grown into a great passion and mastery of the craft of salt making. At House of Pincho, our salt is shaped by the ocean and blended by time. Slowly developed through natural evaporation, our salt is created as a finishing touch, designed to elevate your favourite dishes and your table. Our signature mermaid pot features my original artwork, thoughtfully designed to be kept, used and refilled, an enduring connection to the mystery of the ocean.

PINCHED FROM THE SEA AND MADE WITH SUNSHINE

Our Process

1. Collect

Guided by the rhythm of the seasons and tides, we collect pure ocean water and bring it to our solar salt houses in Bellbrae, a stone’s throw from the wild coastline of Bells Beach, where the process begins.




2. Evaporate

Pinched from the sea and made with sunshine, the crystals form slowly and naturally. Each batch is handled with care and intention, preserving texture, flavour and integrity. No shortcuts. No processing. Just the quiet rhythm of the ocean, captured in every harvest.

3. Harvest

Every crystal is formed with sunshine and a little music, bringing natural flavour and a sense of joy to your table. Through traditional solar evaporation, the salt retains its natural minerals and a subtle, complex flavour.

Added Magic

Infused with sunshine & good vibes

We play music for the water during production, celebrating the power of sea water and adding a bit of magic to our salt making. Every step is done with care and patience, letting the natural energy of the sun and sea flow into each crystal.
