Meet Novia — The Woman Bringing Bali’s Seaweed Superfoods to Your Kitchen

Editorial Team | May 29, 2026 | 0 comment |

We’re excited to introduce one of our newest local producers — Balisiwid, a woman-founded seaweed brand based right here in Bali.

Founded by Novia, Balisiwid is built on a simple belief: the ocean is one of the most sustainable food sources on earth, and Bali has the perfect conditions to bring its natural goodness straight to your kitchen.

Every product is grown and harvested using chemical-free methods, with no additives or shortcuts — just carefully handled seaweed, grown with respect for the ocean.

At Bali Direct Store, we’re currently stocking a selection of their ocean-based products:

🌿 Nori Flakes (Porphyra)

Forget sushi sheets. These premium seaweed flakes made from Porphyra are an everyday kitchen staple. Sprinkle over rice, eggs, soups, salads or avocado toast for an instant umami boost, together with natural iodine, iron and essential vitamins. Simple, nutritious and deeply satisfying — once you start, you will not stop.

💛 Gold Sea Moss (Gracilaria Jamaica)

One of our most loved wellness products. Wildcrafted and naturally rich in 92 minerals, Gracilaria jamaica has traditionally been used to support gut health, immunity, skin and overall wellbeing. Pure ocean nutrition in its most natural form.

🌶️ Seaweed Chili Crisp Oil

A sunflower oil-based chili crisp infused with nutrient-rich seaweed, crispy shallots, garlic and carefully selected spices for deep umami flavour and real heat. Rich, savoury and addictive, it is perfect on eggs, noodles, rice or grilled dishes. A bold flavour experience that is still difficult to find anywhere else in Bali.

🌿 Seaweed Coriander Oil

A sunflower oil-based coriander oil blended with mineral-rich seaweed, fragrant coriander, garlic, shallots and other carefully selected natural ingredients. Fresh, aromatic and versatile, it quietly elevates salads, seafood, vegetables and everyday cooking with a subtle ocean depth.


Why seaweed?

Seaweed farming requires no freshwater, no fertiliser, and actually helps improve ocean ecosystems. Choosing Balisiwid means supporting both your wellbeing and the environment.

It’s exactly the kind of producer we’re proud to work with — local, conscious, and deeply connected to nature.


👉 Available in-store only at Bali Direct Store Bumbak, Pererenan, and Canggu.
