Each water harvest requires we row out to find the best salt blooms off the coast of Marblehead.

Our salt is made according to a 1,600-year-old process perfected by monks of Mount Athos, yet prepared using local sea water from the Marblehead coast North of Boston.

We are one of the few salterns on the East Coast of the United States and the only one that uses ancient, monastic saltern methods.

Unlike mass produced salts, ours benefit from a seasonality and vintage that can only occur with small batch salts. Autumn, winter, spring and summer salts are unique in that they have distinct algal, current and saline bloom signatures.

We can also vary the minerality and the salinity within a certain tolerance for our more demanding customers providing a bespoke saline experience.

You may also notice the live taste quality and delicate crystalline structure of our fresh salt that melts right on contact. Because of the freshness of our salt, you can also use less of it which makes it perfect for those looking to cut down on their salt consumption.

Salt

Our word salary comes from the Latin salarium which was a Roman Legionary's allowance to buy salt.  In fact the word soldier comes from sal dare which means "give salt."  And that gives us the expression "being worth one's salt."  Our salt is $60 per pound.  Larger packages mean a little less effort to pack and I will pass that on.  But good salt is expensive.  It should be.  Just like it's possible to buy a hamburger for $1, but the $8 hamburger is generally a better experience and probably easier to digest!  I think once you try Marblehead Salt you will not only enjoy it more, you'll enjoy consuming less salt but of a much higher quality.  In essence you'll say, Marblehead Salt is worth its salt.

Rosemary Salt

from $12.00

We've always loved this fragrant evergreen with it's pretty blue and purple flowerettes.  The name rosemary is a compound of the Latin "ros" meaning dew and "marinus" meaning sea -- so a sea salt infused with fresh crushed rosemary and rosemary flowers from our garden seemed inevitable.  It's also called anthos from the ancient Greek word for flower.  We call it Athonite Anthos.  You'll call it "Wonderful!"  We recommend using it on fish, lamb, roasted potatoes and if you cut a head of garlic, dribble a olive oil on it and then sprinkle a couple pinches of Athonite Anthos before roasting you'll have perhaps the best garlic spread this side of Athos.
