Jacobsen Salt Co.

Why Jacobsen Salt Co. Is One of the Only U.S. Producers of Sea Salt | Eater

"Ben Jacobsen and his Portland-based team hand-harvest salt from seawater and are among the few companies in the United States doing so. They focus on producing great salt consistently by sourcing seawater from a particularly high-salinity bay on the Oregon Coast after testing samples up and down the coast and finding that spot far superior. The operation turns that seawater into several curated products — pure flake salt, finishing salt, and pure kosher salt — while emphasizing local stewardship and the importance of maintaining the source’s long-standing water quality." - Avery Dalal
