the fact there needs to be a sign saying don't eat the pile of waste calcium means there is a good story
Just proves that people are getting dumber,
Only 20 years ago a car came with a manual so you could set points change spark plugs etc now the manual tells you not to drink contents of battery 🫣

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 better!!!!!!!
Are you sponsored by Jacobsen Salt Company?
@@tovsteh Jacobsen Finishing Salt! Mmmm! That's Jacobsen Finishing Salt!
I personally don't find it any better then cheap kosher salt. Sea salt is sea salt is sea salt. Unless something special is done like its wood dried the only flavor that should come threw is salt. Hence they all taste the same. Guessing your talking about their flavored salts.
@@christianterrill3503- As the guy said, the filtration is what makes it different.
You could say, “water is water is water”.. but that simply isn’t true.
All the salt all around the world was once sea salt. The texture, size and other minerals within the salt will alter its taste profile.
@@HiThisIsMineget off your knees little bro
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!
Love my black garlic salt.
Truth, impromptu safety briefing.....
Avocado toast had already been ruining the housing market and now we put Jacobsen salt on it? That's like when tranq dropped on Portland
Thanks so much
are you boomer ? naah.. just kidding
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.
wwonderful
As a Jacoben customer, I can say... it's 100% worth it!
Another incredible series from eater. Keep making these
you're right
Love seeing people so passionate about their craft.
That guy with the beard net is blaaaazed 😂
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.
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 👨🔬
Love your Food series....try to watch them often and get to learn many new things.....wonderful job guys....
Thanks for watching, what is your favorite?
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
I do tooo
Really impressed at the dedication these guys have!
Amanda is awesome! I absolutely love that she says how cool it is to say she went through all that. I love that!
i love salt.. and i never knew of this "local" gorgeous salt being produced in America.. must buy
So what's so special about the Sodium Chloride in this part of the planet that other places on Earth lacks? Salt is Sodium Chloride and there's no difference.
Before anyone shouts 'trace elements' (official definition is less than 100 parts per million or 100 micrograms per gram), they're in such low quantities that you'd have to eat a kilogram of salt to get 1 gram of trace elements.
@@captainwin6333 well someone sounds a little salty today...
@@captainwin6333 I know, right! I said the same thing to Ben Jacobsen the day he hired me... and then spent 8 years finding out why Jacobsen's is different. It's not so much what is there at Netarts Bay that makes the difference, as it is what isn't there. Netarts bay is pristine. The surrounding area is free of industry, agriculture, and large residential developments. The bay starts clean and stays clean. The process we use is tailored to handling this water to optimize it's natural attributes.
@@captainwin6333 It just tastes better than table salt. Try it.
I've gotten their salt many times and the hard work pays off it really is special. If I'm gonna make a really high end steak I only put their flake on it at the end.
Once again, I’m entranced by the cinematic artistry! Amazing video! It’s pure art!
Oh yeah. Unstable cameras, bad boom mics. Pure elementary student art.
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.
Love Jacobsen Salt, it's the only salt I use. This was really cool watching how they make it.
It's beautiful salt. So refined
Love it now I will love it more seeing how it’s made
That was an amazing expose´ on this company. Thank you so much for this story! I cannot wait to purchase Jacobsen products!
I used to live by the great salt lake, and when I would drive up west to Wendover Nevada they had mountains of salt they processed for Morton Salt
I've visited this place. Really cool and a great product.
Love love love the black garlic awesome products
شكرا لك على التوضيح
مليح اساس الطعام 🧑🍳👍
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. 😬😉
I'm all for it.. but I'd have to argue the actual health benefits considering you are only consuming a very small amount.
@@VitaKet Jep, true. There is a relative amount more of minerals, eg potassium, but you are right, its comparably low and not really relevant. Salt itself is, but any other salt would do, too 😁 Nonetheless it tastes great 😋
The thing is, they spoke about removing calcium, magnesium, etc, and just leaving "pure salt" so it sounded like they were filtering everything out. Esepcially when considering the reverse osmosis.
This is an interesting company, I will have to check them out and see more about them.
I have been using "Redmond Real Salt" for a number of years now.
There's a place near me in Maine that makes outstanding finishing salt. Had no idea it was a rarity.
As a Vendor myself I approve of this series. Making something unique for a living is a great career.
Hello Sir.
Would you like to share your WhatsApp number or Facebook messager.
hey I remember this guy hanging out with Brad Leone! Great stuff
After watching this, I immediately went online and purchased Jacobsen's Black Garlic Salt. I can't wait to try it.
Been using it and their pinot noir salt for a few years now. You'll be happy with it. Their honey sticks are nice too. I add one to my tea in the afternoon.
Fascinating video. Love this.
Visited there in April. Very cool
Salt is great
Wow! We visited there back in March!
Amazing processing skills 🏆
Nice ship John shirt Oregon represent!
That’s so cool!! Thanks for the video!
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.
Feel like a nutritionist would know there are better sources for those minerals than salt. Unless they were one of the many "nutritionists" who thinks if you spend 100 hours in a gym you can just give yourself that title.
Just bought a bunch from them cause of this video.. looks amazing.
Anyone using Maldon flakes should grab a bag of Jacobsen and try it. Better, cleaner flavor, softer crunch. Maldon is fine, but often I don't like the way it crunches on the palate like a shattered car window. I'll never go back to that or any of the fleur de sels I used to buy. I'm all about Jacobsen.
Ive never had finishing salt. I will try Jacobsen if i ever see it in a store near me
How cool! Man do I miss the PNW.
nice video. Informative. Didn't know this company existed. Now I wan to order some.
I like how they drilled a bunch of holes in shovels to make their own tools
Definitely a banger!
2:58 The existence of that sign tells a story.
You can visit the Jacobson salt factory and buy it direct if you are ever in the area. It is worth the trip, they usually have products you cant find in stores or online. There is also a top tier oyster place just down the road (I forget the name but they have a sign so its hard to miss). Best oysters I have ever had. Just make sure to ask them if they are there oysters because during algae blooms they source them from sister farm in Northern Washington. The oysters from Washington are great but the ones from netarts are top tier.
Artisan salt. Appreciate the process!
good story, great people!
I wish they would capture the fresh water that's evaporated.... btw, excellent salt
That crewneck is kinda cool 😮
Remember doing something like this in my science class in middle school.
What happens to the "by-product from our process" shown at 2:58? Is there use for it, or does it go back in the ocean where it came from?
I don't think it goes back... Cuz if so, then they would have even more difficulty separating the next batch... Right..??? Plus the addition of magnesium and calcium increases the salinity wayyy beyond the normal limit, and will be harmful for the oyster farming as it would destroy the ecosystem...
I think many other companies buy it... To use it as raw material...
Ever heard of de-icing??? It's done by spraying salt on the roads in snowy areas...
Also, nuclear waste is stored in salt containments... As its almost impermeable, and conducts heat well...
They might also be used to make pure magnesium or calcium...
Or used to make hard water... Which is actually beneficial to health...
Hope it gives some clarity...
Amazing! The best and purest salt. Rock salt comes nowhere close to sea salt flake. Well done guys and girls!
Salt is the spice of humanity
impressive ... ill look out for it in the UK?
This is like the most pretentious thing I've ever seen and yet it is so unique and cool
what they do with fresh water part of the reverse osmosis?
I grew up in Netarts!
Thumbnail looked like a Vice video
That's great, I also work as a salt farmer✌️
This salt is the official salt I use for fry brining steaks. It’s the best.
I can't be the only one who thought he was cooking up a batch of some other 'salt' in that thumbnail..
Fishscale “salt”😂
It's Eater not Vice dummy
I thought they were meth-ing around
@@XkablamXflake is slang for cocaine not meth.
White Pepper Salt is delicious in porridge, dry noodles and soup noodles. Ajinomoto Brand (white pepper salt) is delicious seasoning
always quality video👍👋
Salt of the earth, literally.
This salt is the best in America, but Maldon is the best Sea Salt I have ever tried. Jacobson is top 2 on my list, and works good when i can't get Maldon.
Have you looked into ways to increase the surface tension of the water to create more of the largest flakes?
please what is the source of your heating system?
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!
Good idea
So what do they do with the fresh water?
very much like maldon sea salt made here in england since 1882. it's the only salt i buy.
They keep the fresh water?
Where can I buy the evaporative pans and how much please
Looks incredibly energy intensive.
What do they do with the "waste" fresh water?
I want this life. I am sound radio ham cb and this is no joke
yeay oregon!
I'll have to see how the pure flake compares to fleur de sel de Guérande, whether or not the flavor justifies the price difference. I know I prefer the more robust shape/texture of fleur de sel, so it better be damn tasty, lol.
This guy at the end, his ancestors definitely made moonshine.
How do you rinse it with fresh water without dissolving the salt
Favourite channel on RUclips
Thanks for watching!
These folk ain't just cooking up salt over there, those barrels in Pakistan we don't just use them for making salt for for other things too
This guy sure loves farming salt! 😂
is this better than maldon salt?
You mentioned calcium and magnesium that separates out. Do you refine that too? If not why not? Where can we find your product?
I think many other companies buy it... To use it as raw material...
Ever heard of de-icing??? It's done by spraying salt on the roads in snowy areas...
Also, nuclear waste is stored in salt containments... As its almost impermeable, and conducts heat well...

Hope it gives some clarity...
So since it's all natural salt from the sea, does it lack the necessary iodine to prevent swelling of the thyroid..?
Wait, does this company also make coffe products? Because we have that name with coffee here in Denmark
the fact they need a sign saying not to taste something, says a lot of the people who go there.
On the danish island on Læsø they make thier own salts too
He really loves salt.
Eater continues to deliver incredible series. Keep up the great work! 👍🎬
The ones without the annoying host are infinitely better. Can’t even watch the ones with her on them.
Nice
Good
ممكن التحدث مع مدير المصنع المنتج لهذا العمل الجيد
Yo i grew up goong to netarts to clam and crab. I had no clue this was going on.
راءعة
So what is done with the waste?
maybe you can use a blower, to blow dry air to separate large clumps vs large pyramid crystal.
I only use sea salt in my cooking and on food.
