JOZO Light Zout (Sel Light)

JOZO is one of the most recognized salt brands in the Netherlands, with a history dating back to 1929. The name 'JOZO' stands for 'Jodium Zout' (Iodized Salt), marking its origin as a health-focused initiative to prevent iodine deficiency in the Dutch population. This specific 'Light' variant contains 70% less sodium by replacing it with potassium, catering to health-conscious consumers.

The salt is typically sourced from the Zechstein Sea, an ancient underground source located in Northwest Europe, particularly from salt layers beneath the Netherlands. Today, the brand is owned by Salins Group (Compagnie des Salins du Midi et des Salines de l'Est), a major European salt producer. The production processes remain deeply rooted in Dutch industrial history, maintaining high standards for both taste and nutritional value.
