Zalt

ZALT is a premium salt brand created by the Swahili Coast Salt Company in Zanzibar. The company was founded by three women who aimed to disrupt the salt industry by improving the livelihoods of artisanal salt farmers, primarily from the island of Pemba. ZALT focuses on producing high-quality, sustainably harvested sea salt, refined with natural ingredients such as local spices. Its second brand, MAWIMBI, is designed for the Tanzanian domestic market, while ZALT is targeted for global export, including markets like the U.S.

The company is committed to sustainable practices and community empowerment, particularly through uplifting local farmers by improving production quality and creating sustainable routes to market. Their hand-harvested salt is solar-evaporated, a process that emphasizes environmental consciousness. ZALT offers a variety of gourmet sea salts, which are gaining popularity in restaurants and among consumers seeking ethically sourced ingredients​.
