“Raw” means our salt is not artificially dried by being boiled nor heated to more the 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Instead we rely on a solar drying process.

MV Sea Salt is natural, not amended with anti-caking or drying agents, bleach or fluoride. Yuck. Open Atlantic Ocean water is filtered at 50 microns to remove sand, shells, small sea creatures before being set out in large, covered ponds to dry. When the water has evaporated the resulting sea salt is scooped and packaged. 

MV Sea Salt has been tested for trace mineral content and surprisingly, although it shouldn’t really be surprising, the results have varied depending on the season. We surmise the difference have to do with migrating sea life and the flow of the ocean, itself.

Herein, the latest findings:

Many ask, “Is Martha’s Vineyard Sea Salt Certified Organic?” and the answer is that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) classifies salt as a mineral and not an agricultural product, which means there is not yet an organic certification available for salt and salt products in the United States.
