Dried onion. Gentle sweetness and round body. Lifts broths and vegetables.
Lovage (Liebstöckel, Levisticum officinale). The monastery herb. Celery-like, resinous, long finish. Historic fit for soups, roots and stocks.
Monastic in spirit, modern in grind. No fillers.
Use on eggs, potatoes, cabbage, root veg and green beans. Finish soups, braises, and roasted chicken. Fold into cultured butter or soft cheese. Dust onto salad dressings and vegetable broths for a clean herb-mineral snap.

Inspired By
Monasteries
Rooted in the quiet discipline of European monasteries, this blend recalls the early tradition of Monk’s Salt, where simple mineral crystals were lifted with garden herbs. Celtic sea salt forms the mineral base, while garlic and dried onion carry rustic warmth. Lovage (the old “Maggi herb” of monastery gardens) lends its deep, savory note, tying the blend to the legacy of monk’s kitchens
Ingredients with Protected Origins and Culinary Heritage
THE MINERAL SYSTEM
CELTIC SEA SALT (IGP)
Harvested by hand along the Breton coast, this salt carries the Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) seal, protecting its origin and method. Grey in hue from the clay beds where it crystallises, Celtic sea salt retains a broad spectrum of trace minerals absent in refined table salt.
THE HERBS AND SPICES
ALLIUMS + LOVAGE
A trinity drawn from the monastery garden. Garlic and dried onion bring familiar depth: sweet, savory warmth that anchors stews and breads. Lovage, once known as the “Maggi herb,” adds a celery note. Together they create an echo of Monk’s Salt

What role does lovage play in the blend?
Lovage, the historic “Maggi herb,” delivers a broth-like, savory intensity that distinguishes this blend from standard garlic salts.
Why use Celtic sea salt?
