Jacobsen Salt Co.

Season 2 Episode 213 | 26m 46s | CC

It’s easy to take salt for granted, but there’s a lot more to this essential mineral than you might imagine. In Portland, Oregon, Jacobsen Salt Co. harvests salt from the cold, clean waters of Netarts Bay on the Oregon Coast. We explore exactly how flake sea salt is made and then follow the salt to see how local chefs and makers are utilizing the briny crystals in unique and delicious ways.
