Glad you asked. Each state has its own duties and tariff laws so we cannot include US taxes in our pricing. You will be responsible for paying any customs and/or duties from your end. Very grown up of you.

Please keep the jars and pouch sealed when not in use. If exposed to the air for a long period, our all-natural salt will attract moisture.

We like to transfer our Flake Sea Salt (that came in the beautiful box) in a salt cellar or salt pig, and only take a small amount to place in pinch bowls when it’s time to serve.

Absolutely! Our sea salt is dried naturally and do not contain any of the chemicals that most salts use to prevent moisture and clumping. Read above on the best way to store your sea salt.

Shakers, oh no! Most shakers are designed for fine grain iodized salt that contains free-flow agents, they’re not meant to hold larger salt flakes (and remember all-natural sea salt has moisture). Part of the magic of our Flake Sea Salt is its beautiful pyramid-shaped crystals and the light, flaky texture you can easily crumble with your fingers to sprinkle on your food. So, if you have to, use grinders that are especially designed for natural sea salt.

For the table, we recommend using pinch bowls or salt cellars that come with their own spoons.

Our website is updated regularly and has a lot of information about our products, the company and how we harvest Canadian sea salt.

The purity of our sea salt starts at the source. We draw from the highest grade waters based on Environment Canada standards. We only draw water at high tide. We then filter that water in multiple stages to remove any unwanted impurities. This seawater is then boiled at very high temperatures in what equates to a pasteurization process.

No. There are very small traces of iodine in our salt that are naturally present in the ocean. We do not, however, add iodine or other chemicals as is the case with many industrial produced salts (e.g. table salt).
