Hawaiian Sea Salts

Hawaiian salt describes both a style of salt and the land where the salt is made. All salts harvested in Hawaii are by definition Hawaiian. However, some salts, sold as “Hawaiian,” are produced elsewhere, and only through processing are made to look like traditional Hawaiian salts. Virtually all the “Hawaiian salts” sold around the world (including in Hawaii!) are in fact based on industrial sea salts from manufacturers such as Cargil, and then passed off as authentic Hawaiian salt. True Hawaiian salts have vastly more minerals, richer flavor, and of course a more personal and ecologically appealing story.
