Klamath grows spontaneously in a gigantic lake surrounded by mountains in the heart of a national park in Oregon in the USA. Its harvest takes place only from May to June & from September to November.
Harvest periods tend to be reduced, as a result of climate change, the quantity of klamath available will then become increasingly rare on the market and its price is likely to increase in the years to come.
Why are harvest periods restricted?
When the lake water is too warm, another micro-algae, called microcystin, develops. This latter is toxic. For safety reasons, the harvest of klamath is not authorized if the microcystin level is too high. Otherwise, when the water is too cold, the klamath does not develop enough.
Sol Semilla is fortunate to have built a lasting partnership for 10 years with one of the authorized harvesters who are very few on the lake. We will do everything to offer it to you for as long as possible!
