A delicious moist solar-dried sea salt made from nothing more than the sun's heat and the cold Atlantic waters of Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore.
75g glass gift jars of smoked or natural
What Makes Our Sea Salt Special
We produce the only solar-dried sea salt in Nova Scotia. We believe in sustainable practices and local food. Our natural salt has only one ingredient, Nova Scotia sea salt- no additives! It is a moist unrefined food-grade finishing salt with all of the ocean’s trace minerals intact. It is produced by simply allowing the sun to work its magic! We filter the ocean water and dry it in our salt houses that work like greenhouses by amplifying the sun’s heat and allowing the sea water to dry out. That is it! We package our sea salt in 75g glass jars
How It’s Made
We regularly visit our favourite beach, from May to October, fill dozens of jugs with Atlantic sea water, and let the sun work its magic in our salt houses in Dartmouth.
We don’t boil the sea water. It takes a lot of energy to boil the ocean. We only filter the water then use solar energy from the sun to dry the sea water. We produce beautiful, moist salt crystals from May to October. We smoke some with applewood chips, leave some natural and have recently mixed some with spruce tips we forage in the spring. We have grown from 1 salt house to 4 salt houses and we plan to build even more! We still get excited when we see the beautiful crystals form at the bottom of the pan on a warm sunny day.
Using Nova Scotia Sea Salt
Our Nova Scotia Sea Salt is a solar-dried 100% natural sea salt. It is a coarse, moist salt. It is a finishing salt. Natural sea salt tastes clean and strong; so you don’t need as much as table salt when using it for cooking.
It is used by simply taking a pinch out of the wide-mouth jar and sprinkling it on your food. If you need our salt finer, it can be crushed between your fingers. Or you can crush the larger crystals with the back of a spoon or mortar and pestle. Don’t use a salt grinder it will clog it up!
Our smoked sea salt is made from our natural sea salt smoked with applewood chips. Our spruce tip sea salt is just the natural and the spruce tips crushed and mixed together.
Natural Sea Salt, like ours, absorbs moisture from the air as it has no anti-caking agents. Store our sea salt with the lid on the jar. If the salt gets too moist for your liking however, just dry it in the oven.
