Our Sea to Salt Process
We truly mean that we hand harvest our sea water. When we began in 2017, Matt used our 5-gallon food safe buckets, a pair of waders, and a lot of muscle to haul sea water. Now we use a small pump to help us fill our 5-gallon buckets. The ocean water first gets filtered to remove any sediments. However, before we even grab our buckets and head out to Brenton Reef we are cognizant of the weather and tides. We never collect our sea water less than 48hrs after a heavy rain and only at or near high tide. There are no regulations for collecting sea water to produce sea salt in this manner, however, we have instituted these common sense safe practices ourselves to ensure we provide you with the cleanest and purest sea salt as possible.
Currently, we are evaporating at Hope and Main, a food incubator and shared-use commercial kitchen in Warren, RI. It is at this location where we utilize their certified commercial kitchen spaces to slowly simmer the sea water to produce our sea salt. 'Simmer' is the key word as we never allow our water to boil. By simmering very slowly we allow the flaky salt crystals to form and grow on the surface where it will eventually sink and flutter to the bottom like snowflakes. It is then raked up and harvested. This is a very SLOW process where much patience and close attention is required, however the end result is our beautiful flaky, briny, and crunchy sea salt for all to enjoy!!
