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.
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
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'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.
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 👨🔬
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.
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.
Really impressed at the dedication these guys have!
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.
Amanda is awesome! I absolutely love that she says how cool it is to say she went through all that. I love that!
Love Jacobsen Salt, it's the only salt I use. This was really cool watching how they make it.
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.
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
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.
It's beautiful salt. So refined
That was an amazing expose´ on this company. Thank you so much for this story! I cannot wait to purchase Jacobsen products!
I've visited this place. Really cool and a great product.
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.
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.
Love it now I will love it more seeing how it’s made
Love love love the black garlic awesome products
Fascinating video. Love this.
hey I remember this guy hanging out with Brad Leone! Great stuff
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.
That’s so cool!! Thanks for the video!
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.
I like how they drilled a bunch of holes in shovels to make their own tools
Visited there in April. Very cool
Salt is great
Ive never had finishing salt. I will try Jacobsen if i ever see it in a store near me
Amazing processing skills 🏆
Wow! We visited there back in March!
2:58 The existence of that sign tells a story.
Amazing! The best and purest salt. Rock salt comes nowhere close to sea salt flake. Well done guys and girls!
How cool! Man do I miss the PNW.
Just bought a bunch from them cause of this video.. looks amazing.
nice video. Informative. Didn't know this company existed. Now I wan to order some.
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...
White Pepper Salt is delicious in porridge, dry noodles and soup noodles. Ajinomoto Brand (white pepper salt) is delicious seasoning
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.
Definitely a banger!
what they do with fresh water part of the reverse osmosis?
شكرا لك على التوضيح
مليح اساس الطعام 🧑🍳👍
This guy at the end, his ancestors definitely made moonshine.
Have you looked into ways to increase the surface tension of the water to create more of the largest flakes?
I wish they would capture the fresh water that's evaporated.... btw, excellent salt
Remember doing something like this in my science class in middle school.
Salt is the spice of humanity
Artisan salt. Appreciate the process!
This salt is the official salt I use for fry brining steaks. It’s the best.
please what is the source of your heating system?
good story, great people!
This is like the most pretentious thing I've ever seen and yet it is so unique and cool
So what do they do with the fresh water?
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.
very much like maldon sea salt made here in england since 1882. it's the only salt i buy.
Nice ship John shirt Oregon represent!
impressive ... ill look out for it in the UK?
always quality video👍👋
Salt of the earth, literally.
That's great, I also work as a salt farmer✌️
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!
What do they do with the "waste" fresh water?
Where can I buy the evaporative pans and how much please
They keep the fresh water?
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
How do you rinse it with fresh water without dissolving the salt
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
That crewneck is kinda cool 😮
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.
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...

I grew up in Netarts!
Thumbnail looked like a Vice video
Looks incredibly energy intensive.
is this better than maldon salt?
This guy sure loves farming salt! 😂
the fact they need a sign saying not to taste something, says a lot of the people who go there.
Good idea
yeay oregon!
On the danish island on Læsø they make thier own salts too
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.
The flake ceased salt is ridiculously expensive. When you can go to your local supermarket and buy for a fraction of the price.
hence this ad to show how "natural and artisan" the process is.
We live over alot of salt mines. The entire county is 85% salt mines.
Favourite channel on TH-cam
Thanks for watching!
So what is done with the waste?
He really loves salt.
Yo i grew up goong to netarts to clam and crab. I had no clue this was going on.
im a bit slow, how do they get the calcium out ?
Calcium is less soluble in water than sodium is. So when there’s a high amount of sodium ions in the water after it’s been concentrated, the calcium precipitates and settles out.
Short answer: Calcium carbonate is more soluble in cold water and percipitates out in hot water, the opposite is true for sodium chloride.
Can the calcium and magnesium be refined and used as well?
Nice
Ah, it's the salt expert guy from Epicurious' Price Point.
