🪶 The story behind the Salt: A SEA SALT OF PLACE
The pristine shorelines of Vancouver Island create the perfect “merroir” for crafting a world class sea salt. The team at Vancouver Sea Salt works hard to make their salt, but there’s no question that the most special thing about it is where it comes from.

Located on a stunning 400 acre farm with over 2 km of untouched ocean frontage on Oyster Bay, their salt harvestry sits halfway between the vibrant shellfish coast of Comox and the ‘Salmon Capital of the World’, Campbell River. The surrounding waters are glacier fed and bordered by old growth forests. This brings a unique blend of minerals to the special salt while keeping the water source clean and unspoiled.

During high tides, they collect water at the exact point where the currents from the South of Vancouver Island meet the strong, cold currents from the North, making for a spectacular blending of tides and minerals that are constantly in motion.

A SEA SALT OF NATURE
Vancouver Island Sea Salt is simply that, sea salt. It’s completely natural with over 30 trace minerals found in the Pacific. That means no presence of the additives or chemicals so commonly found in mass-produced salts is found. The result, a difference you can taste.

Vancouver Island Sea Salt is produced responsibly and with respect for the environment and our carbon footprint.

A SEA SALT WORTHY OF THE CHEFS WHO LOVE IT
Since 2009, these passionate salt harvesters have worked diligently to craft a sea salt worthy of the trust placed in it by hundreds of discerning food artisans and professional chefs, many at Canada’s top-rated restaurants. Today, our sea salt has found a treasured spot in the pantries of home kitchens around the world.

Most salt on the market is over-processed and seriously lacking in mineral content. Vancouver Island flaky salt is the perfect solution for your body’s mineral needs. By hand-harvesting sea salt in small batches, the natural properties of the salt are elevated to craft a flavour and texture that brings out the very best in your food. These large salt flakes provide balanced saltiness, making for a great all-around finishing salt. The larger (3-10mm), delicately textured crystals last longer on the surface of food, delivering a big flavour burst and a beautiful look to your dishes.

👨‍🍳Essence of the Salt: A flaky sea salt known for its bright, balanced salinity and naturally mineral‑rich character. Hand‑harvested in small batches, the large, delicate crystals dissolve slowly, offering a clean, lingering crunch and a generous burst of flavor that elevates everything from simple vegetables to refined, chef‑driven dishes.

👨‍🍳Where this Salt Shines: This airy structure and luminous texture make this an exceptional all‑purpose finishing salt—expressive, versatile, and beautiful on the plate. A luminous finishing touch that lifts grilled vegetables, fresh seafood, warm breads, and simple greens with its slow‑melting crunch—equally striking on roasted meats or scattered over dark chocolate and caramel for a whisper of bright, coastal contrast.
