Our Story

The pristine shorelines of Vancouver Island create the perfect “merroir” for crafting a world class sea salt. We work hard to make our salt but there’s no question that the most special thing about it is where it comes from.

Located on a stunning 400 acre farm with over 2 km of untouched ocean frontage on Oyster Bay, our salt harvestry sits halfway between the vibrant shellfish coast of Comox and the ‘Salmon Capital of the World’, Campbell River. The surrounding waters are glacier fed and bordered by old growth forests. This brings a unique blend of minerals to our salt while keeping our water source clean and unspoiled.

During high tides we collect water at the exact point where the currents from the South of Vancouver Island meet the strong, cold currents from the North, making for a spectacular blending of tides and minerals that are constantly in motion.

Our sea salt is simply that, sea salt. It’s completely natural with over 30 trace minerals found in the Pacific. That means none of the additives or chemicals so commonly found in mass-produced salts. The result, a difference you can taste.

Vancouver Island Sea Salt is produced responsibly and with respect for the environment and our carbon footprint. Any ingredients infused into our salts are sourced ethically and sustainably. We are a proud Supplier Partner of Ocean Wise.

Since 2009, our passionate salt harvesters have worked diligently to craft a sea salt worthy of the trust placed in it by hundreds of discerning food artisans and professional chefs, many at Canada’s top rated restaurants. Today, our sea salt has found a treasured spot in the pantry’s of Canadian home kitchens from coast to coast. We call this #saltlove.
