Discover the story of salt from ancient civilisations to modern Irish craft production in our brand-new self-guided immersive visitor experience on Achill Island. The tour brings the story of Achill Island Sea Salt to life through an immersive audio-visual presentation, a close-up view of our production process, hands-on science experiments, and a look at age-old salt superstitions from around the world.

Learn how salt has shaped history, culture and heritage, and discover what sets the world's different salts apart. The experience finishes with a tasting of our award-winning sea salts, leaving you with cooking inspiration and food pairings to bring home.
