How it does good
The "salt of the earth" that's good for the earth, too
Sea salt comes from water, which means there are a lot of environmental elements to consider. Jacobsen tested water from over 25 locations before settling on the Netarts Bay oyster beds they now use. The oysters filter the sea water, creating a high salinity and low turbidity while filtering out any pollutants. Jacobsen also looks for ways to give back, both through their suppliers and the community. They use direct trade with Oregon seaweed farmers and work with brands who share their mission.
In addition to the Oregon seaweed farmers who help produce their furikak blend, they also use local rosemary farmers. Jacobsen has partnered with Burlap & Barrel and Diaspora to bring fair trade far beyond their own ingredients.

United StatesThe. Best. Salt.
Hi Hive! It's Kate from the Merch team. When we started looking at partner brands for Hive, the team couldn't get me to shut up about how Jacobsen's salt would change their cooking and eating. No, really. They tried and failed. Maybe it's the magic of the waters off the Oregon Coast that makes the difference. Or the care with which the salt is hand-picked. Or it's that Ben's dedication to quality and craft has been internalized by everyone on the Jacobsen's team. I can't tell you what makes this salt so good, but I can promise you it will improve anything you pair it with. Brownies? Totally. Salad, sure! Veggies or a steak hot off the grill? Oh yeah.
