the fact there needs to be a sign saying don't eat the pile of waste calcium means there is a good story

[mattkeosian]

the black garlic infused salt is top tier. i put it on my avocado toast and i dont own a home and will never be able to because id rather have Jacobsen salt in my pantry! thanks guys, quality product, and the time and love that goes in to it shows!

I've had Jacobsen finishing salt sitting on my counter for at least the last two years. It's the perfect finishing touch for so many dishes. I never use more than a pinch but wow, what a difference it makes. Thank you for all your hard work in helping my cooking taste even

The passion that each of these speakers in this video put forth is... wonderful. The care and love that they put into their work is present simply in the way they speak about what they do. It makes my heart warm to see people pouring themselves into their passion and being so willing to share it with others. Never heard of a finishing salt until today, but now I think I must go out and find some of this just for myself.

As a Jacoben customer, I can say... it's 100% worth it!

I love Jacobsen salt! The black garlic, ramen, dill pickle, steak, furikake & seafood are all on my counter, along with the flake finishing of course. I'd also recommend trying their caramels

This is a freakin art. If you've ever "tried" to make sugar or salt crystals in a small chemistry kit you will know this.

[KyleMorpheus]

Love seeing people so passionate about their craft.

[chrisfisher]

Another incredible series from eater. Keep making these

This was great the one part I was hung up on was the tasting portion. “We are going to do a taste test” and then he proceeds to eat his own product by himself and talk about how good it is. Of course the owner of the company is going to think it’s great.

i love salt.. and i never knew of this "local" gorgeous salt being produced in America.. must buy

[dailybusiness]

Nice company. And salt can have such a broad range, from flaky to rock salt to industrial salt with no life. I recently harvested a bunch of salt from a special place of the corsican coast, all natural, no osmosis and triple purification. I did clean it though, removed visible impurities (mainly), rinsed it, cooked it dry. I have beautiful pyramidal crystals and the taste of that salt, omg. It has so much more soul. Not that you taste the ocean (mediterranean sea to be exact), but it has such a body, a spectrum. And thats what makes natural sea salt so different and actually healthy, its rich of many elements. Except some micro plastics maybe, but you cant get away from them anyways. 😬😉

Love your Food series....try to watch them often and get to learn many new job guys....

[ColoradoSatellite]

As a Vendor myself I approve of this series. Making something unique for a living is a great career.

Nutritionist here: it's a GREAT thing that the salt contains trace amounts of calcium and magnesium, as they are ALSO electrolytes. Not as needed as sodium, (your body typically dumps and absorbs its sodium on a constant basis) but still important at low levels in a healthy diet.

[FreeOfAllFear]

Dude who is I charge of operations is the right guy for that job I can tell how intense he is about the perfect batch 👨‍🔬

[piplup]

Amanda is awesome! I absolutely love that she says how cool it is to say she went through all that. I love that!

[TeamPerry]

Once again, I’m entranced by the cinematic artistry! Amazing video! It’s pure art!

[tbtb]

After watching this, I immediately went online and purchased Jacobsen's Black Garlic Salt. I can't wait to try it.

[rrands]

My wife and I married in Oregon and as a wedding gift received a bunch of their salts and seasonings, by far the best salts and seasonings I’ve used in cooking to date. Well worth the cost of admission!
