Old Pine Needle Salt

£12.00 
Pine needles collected from ancient trees, blended with mineral-rich sea salt, then dried slowly and ground into a fragrant powder. The result is a sharply aromatic finishing salt with notes of resin, citrus, and forest floor—perfect over grilled meats, roasted root vegetables, or dark chocolate.
Collected in the forests of Northern Europe and prepared by hand, this salt is part of FORAGED, a limited-edition series by Protopia Collective. The series began as an installation for London Design Festival and now continues in small, seasonal releases. Each piece is wild-foraged, made in micro-batches, and designed to bring a raw, elemental presence into contemporary food rituals and thoughtful tables.

Pine needles are a well-known foraged ingredient in Northern forests—fragrant, resilient, and available year-round. Foragers typically gather them fresh from mature trees, choosing healthy, green needles for their bright aroma and clean taste.

●

Old pine needles carry an intense, aromatic sharpness—resinous, slightly bitter, and citrusy. When ground and blended with sea salt, they create a seasoning that cuts through rich dishes and adds a wild, woodsy note to simple ingredients. It's a way to introduce forest clarity to the plate—evoking cold soil, still air, and evergreen light.

●

Pine has been used across Northern and Eastern Europe for centuries—often burned, infused, or brewed in various domestic and ritual contexts. As one of the few green materials available throughout the year, it has come to symbolise resilience and renewal in many folk practices. This salt draws from that legacy, offering a contemporary take on the long-standing connection between humans and evergreen forests.
