Why do we love it? There’s a reason we have dedicated taste buds sensitised to the taste of salt. It’s a necessity for life, vital to our health and well-being. No wonder then that it’s the most natural thing on earth to seek out the taste of salt.

The South African brand Oryx Desert Salt has pulled off a major coup with a listing by iconic US Whole Foods Market.
The salt, mined in the Kalahari Desert, will be on the organic supermarket chain's shelves in the US in October.
Bruce Whitfield chats to Oryx founder and CEO Samantha Skyring.
Oryx is due to officially hit shelves in Whole Foods across the USA, in a total of 515 locations, in October. That chain started to expand out of its Texas base in 1984, and was bought by Amazon in 2017. Since then it has grown rapidly.
After many years of growing the brand locally and internationally, in October 2021, Oryx Desert Salt will be one of the few South African brands to land on Whole Foods Market shelves in the USA. Whole Foods specialises in organic food that’s been sustainably produced and chooses their suppliers carefully. Their customers are conscious buyers who make purchases based on quality and ethics.

Salt. It’s one of the major elements our taste buds seek. It’s been considered so valuable throughout history, Roman soldiers were paid with it — that’s how we get our word, “salary”.
