Serious About Salt®

From our water sources and harvesting practices to packaging and delivery, we work tirelessly to innovate processes to preserve the integrity of artisanal craftsmanship and the purity of our salt.

Pristine Ocean Salt

Salt piled up in mountains

Cold water harvest

The cleanest, naturally occurring crystals of their kind are harvested from the southern shores of Australia where cold undercurrents from Antarctica create spotless salt.

Pure Ocean® Sea Salt

Cold undercurrents from Antarctica form the cleanest naturally occurring crystals of their kind, which are then harvested and naturally processed using the Swift Salt Perfecting system.*

*SaltWorks' cutting edge technology and engineering makes our salt consistently the best quality on the market. Learn more below.

Pure Ocean salt by pallet or superbag

Versatile and popular, Pure Ocean® Sea salt is known for an exceptional, straightforward flavor and clean, dense white crystals in a wide variety of grain sizes.

NOT ALL SALT IS EQUAL

It's important to know where your salt comes from. Salt harvested from the Mediterranean Sea has become the subject of food safety concerns, which is why SaltWorks no longer sources or sells Mediterranean Sea salt.

Pacific Blue® Kosher Flake

Flake salt

Pacific Blue salt by pallet or superbag

We are dedicated to the purity of water sources. Ours is the only clean ocean-derived Kosher salt in the world.

Clockwise from top left: Macro Flake, Kosher Flake, Mini Flake and Micro Flake under 5x magnification

Less salt, more flavor

With a larger surface area than traditional grains, the sodium content of Pacific Blue is naturally lower as less salt is needed for the same salty flavor.

The Kosher Difference

Kosher flake salt has a distinct, light and featherlike texture, and their pyramid shape allows for greater adhesion.

Perfect Smoke® salts

Our cold smoking process naturally captures the unmistakably clean, smoky flavor of native wood planks.
