Our Values

We pride ourselves on staying true to our roots. We continue to create clean, delicious and organic-compliant products, from bestselling Pure Ocean® Sea Salt to delicious Fusion® flavored salts.

It Starts at the Source

Salt piled up in mountains

Pure Ocean® Sea Salt

Cheetham salt ponds from satellite

Cold undercurrents from Antarctica form the cleanest naturally occurring crystals of their kind, which are then harvested and naturally processed using SaltWorks proprietary technology.

Pure Ocean salt by pallet or superbag

Versatile and popular, Pure Ocean is known for an exceptional, straightforward flavor and clean, dense white crystals in a wide variety of grain sizes.

Ancient Ocean®
Himalayan Pink Salt

Deep pink Himalayan salt chunk
Ancient Ocean salt by pallet or superbag

Our beautiful, rosy hued salt comes from the dark, rich red veins of the salt mines in the foothills of the Himalayas, and is naturally processed for unmatched quality and purity.

Ancient Ocean lives up to its name, formed over millions of years as ancient sea beds were covered by lava and later buried under layers of snow and ice.

This process protects the salt from modern pollution while infusing it with a rich array of minerals, resulting in its distinctive pink hue and unique flavor profile.

French Sea Salt

French Sea Salt is meticulously hand-harvested from clay-lined salt ponds along France's Atlantic coast, a tradition spanning centuries. This pristine salt undergoes additional refinement at our Woodinville, WA facility.

French Salt is prized for its mineral content and unique flavor profile.

Sel Gris is harvested by hand from the bottom of salt evaporation ponds. It has a slightly damp consistency, with a mineral-rich flavor that makes it ideal for cooking and seasoning.

Fleur de Sel, is the delicate, premium salt that forms as a thin crust on the surface of salt evaporation ponds. It is carefully skimmed off by hand, resulting in fine, light flakes with a subtle flavor—the perfect finishing salt.

The Perfect Salt Process

Down to a Science

SaltWorks takes every step possible to strive for exceptional, pristine salt. After we harvest our salt from the purest sources, it is then processed, perfected, and packaged using SaltWorks proprietary technology.


Salt 101 Infographic

Processing

After ocean and mine harvesting, our salts are sieved to remove large imperfections and foreign matter, then packed into shipping bags and taken to the SaltWorks Woodinville facility where they are inspected before beginning with an aspiration process to separate each grain.

Once all the salt is separated, rare earth magnets remove all metals that are naturally present but unsuitable for human consumption before the salt is sifted to separate grains by size and shape.

Perfecting

Most salt manufacturers stop here, when the salt is suitable for consumption. SaltWorks’ dedication to the cleanest, purest salt is most evident with our proprietary Optically Clean Technology.

Cameras inspect each and every grain that passes through our facility. When any imperfection is detected, a burst of air shoots out to instantly remove the unwanted material. The pure salt that remains is then put through a final metal detection process as well as a human eye inspection before being packaged, palletized, and shipped to our satisfied customers.
