Details
“A mellow, meditative crunch — dry dust and soft limestone melting into a smooth powdery paste.”
English Chiltern Vale Chalk is self-foraged English chalk made from a single source: the historic chalk hills of southern England. It has a medium-soft crunch, with a gentle snap that quickly breaks down into a smooth, powdery melt and no real grit. Expect dry dust, a faint tang, soft limestone and a gentle damp-cement mouthfeel, followed by a fine, clingy powder finish.

Crunch factor: 2-3 – Medium-soft
ASMR: Soft crumble, quiet melt

Good to Know
- Hand-foraged and self-prepared: washed, soaked in boiling water, air-dried and dehydrated in small batches for 6 hours, so pieces vary naturally in size (1–20cm) and colour intensity
- Will include some dust and crumbs — sold as broken, irregular pieces rather than uniform shapes
- Not lab-tested (hobbyist, asmr, non food-grade)
- Recommended storage: keep dry and sealed to preserve the crisp snap
