People have harvested salt from the oceans nearly as long as we've walked the earth. Upon returning to the States from living in Scandanavia for over four years, founder Ben Jacobsen came home with a vision to create the first great American finishing salt. After retracing the path of Lewis and Clark, toting home ocean water to make batches of salt at his kitchen stove, he settled in on the perfect source: Netarts Bay and the pristine waters of the Oregon coastline. His back yard.

At Jacobsen Salt Co., we believe that good salt elevates food to the next level. We also believe it is about time it's made at home. Crushed over a thickly sliced tomato from your garden, sprinkled on salted chocolate chip cookies, or topping the classic morning fare of farm eggs and toast- we think you will agree.
