The sea water harvested at the slack tide, moved into the first set of houses for two reasons: 1. Allow anything in the water to settle out, and to reduce the sea water to 50% salinity. 2. This method repeated and the water filtered and reduced to 70% in another set of Green Houses. The water is finally pumped to the finishing house for making salt. Here the pool completely evaporates leaving behind the sea salt.
The Maine Sea Salt is in piles. Then placed in bins to further drain. Maine Sea Salt is than taken to the production area where ground. The salt when ground releases more moisture from the crystals. We layer the damp salt between linen towels to finally remove any remaining moisture. The salt is never heated, for example: in a kiln, nor is it washed. Maine Sea Salt is then sifted, to separate various crystal sizes for packaging.
We do not add drying agents to the salt, kept in it's simplest natural state. We have seasoned salt, made only with the best ingredients. Our smoked salt infused with a real wood fire in small batches. We guarantee Maine Sea Salt 100%.
