About Dorset Sea Salt Company

The Dorset Sea Salt company was founded in 2017 as a Princes trust supported business. The business started after Jethro realised that salt production was once an extremely important industry on Portland, and one that had since vanished due to industrialisation. The salt making adventure saw him achieve his first stockist in weymouth town centre in 2017, to now having listings with some of the most esteemed retailers and wholesalers in the UK. It has been their mission ever since to revive the salt making industry on the Isle of Portland, and to breathe life back into this stunning coastal town.

Every flake of this delicious sea salt is created at their salt works on Portland, Dorset, using pristine seawater collected from Chesil beach. Producing award winning flake salt is their quiet art, and is what puts them on the radar of so many top chefs all over the world. The Dorset brine is enriched with sea derived electrolytes to allow each flake to form in optimum conditions. The delicate alchemy of salt making demands exact temperatures and concentrations of seawaters, brines and electrolytes. As a result, only the most skilful team know exactly when their salt flakes are ready for harvest. Each shard of salt is painstakingly drawn from the salt pans, slowly dried and packed.
