Stunning Himalayan Salt Slabs are coming to the UK for the first time in large sizes which have never been available here. We are looking to Crowdfund so we can bring enough stock over to fill the demand. The only place currently to get hold of these Himalayan Salt Slabs is here on Crowdfunder.
600 Million Years in the Making
The Style Academy has an exciting new project, the import and distribution of Saltworks - America's Sea Salt Company. Saltworks is the USA's largest company specialising in artisan salts from around the world and the best quality Himalayan Salt Slabs in 5 unique sizes which have never been seen in the UK before. The Saltworks Quality Assurance programme guarantees only the best and highest quality slabs make it to the UK.
What are Himalayan Salt Slabs ?
The Salts Slabs can be used for cooking, searing, curing, freezing and presentation, on gas, electric, the B-B-Q and oven. They can also be chilled to extreme temperatures making them perfect keeping food very cold. The slabs are over 600 million years in the making and made completely of the purest compressed Himalayan salt. America's expert on salt and salt slabs cooking, the author of "salted" and "salt block cooking", is Mark Bitterman. He will be spending a week in early September in London, helping the launch the salt slabs and salts to the media, trade and chefs with a launch event on the Brompton Road in London, and hopefully some TV appearances and lots of features in the media.
Why we need your help to Crowdfund
Our first pallet of 150 salt blocks is on its way from Seattle, with so much media interest at this early stage, we would like to crowdfund for second shipment of two pallets to arrive in the UK ready for the launch, rather than having to wait the 4 weeks shipping and keep customers waiting. Crowdfunding will enable us to build our stock without crippling our cash flow, this will gives us over 400 blocks ready to be sold. We are hoping that the Himalyan Salt Slabs will be the 'must have gift' for the foodies for Christmas 2014! We will be selling online initially, as the salt slabs weigh as much as 20lbs each, so most customers will be happy to have it arrive at their door, than have to collect from a retailer.
Artisan Salts and Fusion Salts
We will be importing the full Saltworks product range in the 4th quarter of 2014, with over 50 salts from around the world. With a traditional British twist on the packaging, we will be using a brand new jar from Kilner not even launched in the UK until October . A collection of smoked salts and the never seen before fusion salts, which are the big thing in the US culinary World, will be added to the collection throughout the coming months.
Small Team: Big Plans !
My background is as a private chef, entrepreneur and working in retail brand management around the World. I have the experience and knowledge to bring this exciting project to fruition and have the best quality product and hope to change the way Britain views salt and its uses.
We have some great rewards for our supporters and this is an amazing opportunity to help a small but very dynamic small business bring better salt to UK, educate people on less is more, and your chance to sample and review amazing salts from around the world with our tasting circle. Everyone who backs the project will be kept up-to-date with developments and receive invites to launches and tastings in their area as the business grows.
The Salt Slabs wont be available to purchase from our website until September, so the only place to get one is through this crowfunding campaign! We are talking to cooking schools across the country about a partnering to hold cooking classes and masterclasses in salt block cooking as its popularity grows.
