Jersey Sea Salt produces natural unrefined sea salt that is ecologically harvested and solar dried. They collect fresh Channel Island sea water in their salt houses, and when the moisture is evaporated, they sort, sieve, and pack the salt by hand. Most modern sea salt is boiled or kiln dried to speed up the process, but this increases the carbon footprint and causes magnesium salts and other essential elements to be lost. As a solar evaporated salt, Jersey Sea Salt maintains all of the trace minerals and elements that are important for flavor and wellness. Products include oak smoked sea salt and sea salt blends with local seaweed or fair trade organic chili, black pepper, or lemon. They offer refillable glass bottles, minimize packaging, plant native trees, and provide free educational visits for school groups and the local college. Jersey Sea Salt is part of Genuine Jersey and EcoJersey.
