Skeppshult Cast Iron Salt Bowl

This is a stunning salt dish for any modern or traditional table. The walnut lidded pot pairs beautifully with the the matching Skeppshult Cast Iron Pepper & Spice Grinder Bowl.

Do not use water to wash the grinder, as this can cause rust. Instead, use a brush to clean out any dry residue.

Swedish company Skeppshult (pronounced hep-salt) has been making cast iron products by hand since 1906. The process starts with raw iron that is heated to a searing 1,500°C in the furnaces. The molten iron is then cast into special moulds, made from sand which can withstand the extreme temperatures.

Sand moulds can only be used once, and therefore each product is unique – no two items are exactly alike. Each sand mould is recycled and used for another product. Skeppshult seasons their cast iron with rapeseed oil (also called canola oil) from Osterlen to protect it from damage.
