Meet the Maker
Jacobsen Salt Co.
Portland, OR
Hauling buckets of briny water from the Oregon coast started out as a hobby for Ben Jacobsen, the man behind hand-harvested Jacobsen salt. Since then, he's jolted awake an industry that has been in a century-deep sleep in the United States. Any artisan worth his salt has big dreams, and Ben is no exception -- as he produces, he perfects. We’re happy to help taste test along the way.
