The Salt
SunSalt is an Australian Salt producing company committed to maintaining a successful salt producing and manufacturing business while assisting in solving the Murray-Darling salinity problem.

All of the SunSalt products are produced naturally from the underground brines in the Murray Darling Basin!

The salt contains naturally occurring minerals as well as other elements from the brine resulting in a uniquely different taste and color.

This natural Australian inland salt produced near Mildura in both Victoria and New South Wales is the equal of the very best salt produced in other parts of the world.

The underground saline waters have been lying dormant for thousands of years. By utilizing these waters the environment is improved and a unique salt has been produced.
By using this salt you are assisting the serious inland salinity problem!

History of the business
SunSalt is a business that commenced operating in 1982, then known as Hattah Salt. The business originally began producing salt from the unlimited supply of underground saline water (twice as salty as seawater) at Spectacle Salt Lake - Hattah, Victoria, Australia.

In 1986 the company installed a refinery for drying, processing and packaging of salt products. As a result of the expansion SunSalt found itself with insufficient salt resources.
To enable the business to grow successfully, further salt producing sites needed to be obtained. Following considerable research SunSalt proceeded with large scale development at the Mourquong Basin salt mitigation site. The basin has been operating since 1979 and has already received over a million tons of high quality salt.

SunSalt were proud to be awarded the 2004 Engineers Australia National Salinity Award for their demonstrated efforts towards salinity reduction.
