Dulse Flakes

The dulse alga (Palmaria palmata) stands out with its vivid, deep purple colour. It belongs to the red algae family and grows particularly well on rocks, mussels and on strands of other algae species in the cold coastal waters of the Atlantic and Pacific.

Seaweed has a long tradition of being used for culinary purposes; the use of dulse seaweed has even been described in poems and legends. With its uniquely intense umami flavour and nutritional quality, it adds a special touch to a variety of dishes, whether fresh, dried or ground.

Our high-quality dulse seaweed is sourced from a family business who cultivates seaweed in seawater cultures in the remote northwest of Ireland. The harvesting area is partly located in a protected area called the Special Area of Conservation (SAC), which sets strict conditions for harvesting in order to respect and protect the environment. The water quality of Donegal Bay is also regularly tested by the government; several beaches in the bay have been awarded for having the best water quality.

Due to the strong tides and rough seas, the harvesting season is restricted to occur at low tide for a only few weeks each year. Beginning in March, dulse grows in the lower intertidal area on rocks and shells, but can also be found on strands of other types of seaweed.

The seaweed is carefully harvested and sorted by hand and then gently dried with a dehumidifier at temperatures below 40°C. This careful process ensures that the unique flavour and nutrients are preserved.
