This sea salt underscores the importance of water source and the salt maker’s craft. Seawater sourced from the ultra-pure waters around Molokai are solar evaporated and combined with red Alaea volcanic clay to achieve a mineral-rich sea salt with the clear, refreshing flavor of deep Pacific waters.

Bitterman Salt Co. began by pure chance, and as another company altogether—the Meadow, founded in June of 2006 in Portland, Oregon, offering gourmet salt, bean-to-bar chocolate bars, vermouths and cocktail bitters, and fresh cut flowers. By October of 2006, The Meadow began selling salt wholesale to early adopters, like James Beard Award winning chef and restauranteur Gabe Rucker, James Beard Award winning chef and restauranteur Naomi Pomeroy, and James Beard Award winning chef and restauranteur Vitaly Paley. In 2012, Bitterman Salt Co. was officially established to proudly back the salt with a name that matches the mission of Bitterman Salt Co.: to bring flavor to life through salt.
