Find Out Where Salt Comes From

It has to be one of the most used ingredients in every kitchen. Salt, we add it to almost every recipe but how much do we actually know about where it actually comes from?

This PBS video, Salt of the Earth, sets out to examine exactly how salt gets from the sea to our table with a visit to the Jacobsen Salt Co.

It’s amazing to see the detail that goes into the production of a seasoning we all take for granted, there’s also lots of beautiful close up shots of grains of salt - showing just how naturally elegant the finished product looks.

Listening to Ben Jacobson talk about how he took over two years to pick his property and seeing how he approaches his work everyday is sure to change the way you think about salt.
