Saxa Salt

Saxa is one of the most iconic table salt brands in the world, with a history that spans over a century. It was originally established in the United Kingdom around 1907 by Cerebos Ltd, a company that became famous for introducing free-running salt, which utilized an anti-caking agent to prevent clumping in damp weather. This innovation revolutionized how salt was sold and consumed globally.

Today, the brand's manufacturing and ownership are split geographically. In its home market of the United Kingdom, Saxa is produced and owned by Premier Foods, a major British food manufacturer. The brand remains a staple of British kitchens, known for its distinctive red and blue packaging and various formats including table salt, sea salt, and rock salt.

In Australia and New Zealand, the brand has a separate history and is currently owned by Cerebos Pacific, which is a subsidiary of the Japanese beverage and food giant Suntory. Despite these different corporate owners, the Saxa brand maintains its heritage as a trusted name in high-quality seasonings and essential kitchen staples across the Commonwealth.
