The SaltWorks Difference The SaltWorks Story How Gourmet Salt is Made Perfect Smoke

SaltWorks exclusive quality assurance methods have been perfected over the past 15 years by our in-house engineering team. These revolutionary techniques have changed the face of the ingredient salt industry.

Due to our proprietary, systematic screening process that uses sophisticated sieving, rare earth magnets, metal detection and our Optically Clean® technology, every grain of salt is examined to guarantee product consistency and safety with every order.

Our commitment to producing the safest, most consistent premium sea salts on the market is backed by our SQF Level 2 certification.

SQF
Optically Clean Technology

SaltWorks proprietary Optically Clean® technology distinguishes our salts as the purest on the market. Here's why:

  • Our extensive processes eliminate foreign materials such as metals, sticks, sand, rocks, clay, flawed crystals and other insoluble matter, leaving only 100% natural salt that is ready for use in food manufacturing.
  • No chemicals or artificial processing agents are ever used, leaving the salt just as pure as the day it was harvested and keeping prized mineral content intact.
  • Every grain is reviewed for quality using high-definition cameras.
  • Our custom-engineered equipment can detect undesirable foreign particles that are smaller than a grain of sand.
  • If foreign material is detected or a grain does not meet our strict quality guidelines, a targeted burst of air instantly removes it from production.

This exclusive process results in clean, mineral-rich sea salt that is ready for distribution, repacking or food manufacturing.

SaltWorks comprehensive production capabilities ensure that our salts are the perfect fit for any project, large or small. Our ingredient salts are well-suited to a variety of applications such as inclusions, topping, blending, coating, manufacturing, processing and more.
