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
Whoa, Nelly! Don't get the caramels unless you just seriously want to eat a large piece of chewy salt! However, get the salty licorice! It's delightful. It's salty with a pleasant anise licorice kick.
Their salt is beautiful, but the flavored ones need more flavor. Especially the truffle salt version. I will try a box of caramels next year as we love that you are local!

Was at the coast for my birthday! I was happy and joyful until my experience at Jacobsen. It’s clear they don’t really want visitors, as there are minimal parking spots. I entered the gift shop had items in my hand to purchase. I made the mistake of asking about their story and process. I was very rudely told by staff to go to the website or if I saw a salt maker.. ask them. They also said I don’t have time, some people are coming as they walked out to the parking area. There was another car who parked in the wrong place. They were clearly more concerned with policing parking than selling me anything. I put all of it back and left. I won’t go back for rude contemptuous treatment for being curious. They make salt, not a lifesaving drug. I’m still shocked by the rudeness. Just keep driving not worth the visit.

Life on a “Grand”-ular scale is right! This place is a must stop!!! I highly recommend Marcy’s top picks including the salty classic caramels. Just one takes a minimum of a weeks worry away. Promise!

Don’t pass by. No tours but a nice little gift shop, friendly assistant, and great variety of salts and honey! We are hooked on the Ramen, the Black Garlic, and the Seafood seasonings! Every salt is of guaranteed quality and is actually beautiful to look at! Oregon can be proud that Jacobson’s is here. So glad to visit here.

What happened to the store? Came here hoping to find the store that folks talked about a month ago but are we at the wrong location?

We bought some of their finishing salt crystals and steak seasoning and they are delicious!! Totally elevated the green beans we sauteed on the grill with some steak. We can't stop thinking about what we can add the salt to!

Warehouse style store, with selection of locally produced Oregon salts. The staff were reasonably knowledgeable… Though I found the quality of the salts in the Meadow Salt store to be far superior and of equal value. Also they did not have all the salts in stock for purchase. Selection was somewhat limited as well as the quality. They also carry their own line of Caramel, that were quite nice! As well as collaborations with honey producers. Overall Worth a visit.

I had been looking forward checking out the little shop at the coast for a long time. Our experience was terrible. The lady working was extremely unpleasant and rude. We will not be returning and we will not be supporting this company any longer.
