Product description
Coarse, non‑iodized kosher sea salt made from evaporated seawater. The package contains a 12 oz container of salt composed of naturally formed crystals that are sifted and separated into flake and kosher sizes. The crystals are coarse-grained with a light, flaky texture that dissolves nicely on food and brings a clean, briny note.
This salt is harvested by hand from Netarts Bay, Oregon, where harvesters collect and sort the crystals; the larger pieces are used as flake salt while the smaller crystals are packed as kosher salt. The production process relies on slow evaporation to encourage pure, naturally formed crystals rather than mechanically processed grains.
Use this salt for roasting meats, seasoning vegetables, brining poultry, finishing steaks and salads, or any recipe where a flaky, crunchy grain and bright salinity are desired. It’s non‑iodized and intended for culinary use. The brand also produces a range of other sea salts, infused blends, raw honey and seasonings designed to support everyday cooking and gift giving.
Pros
- Clean, briny flavor with flaky texture
- Hand‑harvested and carefully sifted
- Non‑iodized coarse crystals good for cooking and finishing
Cons
- Higher cost per ounce
- Can clump in the dispenser
- Coarse grains can lead to accidental oversalting
VerdictA versatile coarse kosher sea salt with a delicate, flaky texture and a clear saline flavor.

There is a noticeable difference in flavor. I saw a program about how they harvest it.

LG Marie 5/5
Very flavorful
This salt is a bit saltier and more intense than regular table salt. High quality and I was pleased with the speed of delivery. Happy with the purchase.

Free of heavy metals, pleasant taste
Found this after independent testing showed low heavy metal levels. There aren’t many salts like this, so I was glad it tasted good. The larger crystals let you really taste the salt — just be careful not to oversalt. Our household enjoys it and we’ll buy it again.

Perrin Ahlers 5/5
High‑quality staple in our kitchen
We reorder this regularly — the coarse flakes add a bright, clean saltiness without overwhelming dishes. Works well on steaks, roasted veggies and as a finishing sprinkle. Non‑iodized and made in the USA, it feels like an upgrade from standard table salt. The 12 oz container lasts, but we keep it stocked because we reach for it often.

Verified low heavy metals
Independent tests show this brand free of heavy metals, which sold me on it. I don’t use much salt, but it’s good to have for family recipes. It’s pricier for the size and may clump if you don’t shake the jar before pouring.

My go‑to salt
I’ll keep buying this while I can afford it. The flavor is apparent when salt is the main seasoning, and it has notably low heavy metal levels. A strange review mentioned a spider once, but I prefer that to harmful contaminants. This one stays in our pantry.
