Mount Desert Rock

Mount Desert Rock 100% Sun Dried, Mount Desert Rock We think the secret to a pure clean salt is pure clean water. Finally, our salt is examined and graded before packaging.

We filter the water when we collect it and again when we offload it into our green houses. If the filters we use were any finer, they would actually filter out the salt. Our green house drying sites are built on the exposed granite ledges on the highlands of Swan's Island. This gives us the exposure to the sun and wind to maximize our drying season. These highlands were once pushed deep underwater

by the massive weight of glacial ice. We would like to think that when we bring sea water up to these ledges it is like old friends meeting again after thousands of years. Once the salt has formed, we store it in cheese cloth bags for further drying. Mount Desert Sea Salt is available in 2, 4, and 6 ounces jar as well as sold in bulk volume as small as one pound.

General information

The water we use is collected miles from the coast from the mid water column, miles from land in the open Atlantic Ocean. The Gulf of Maine is famous for its nutrient rich upwelling currents and Swan's Island is about as far out in the Gulf as you can get without a boat. There are no rivers and nearby lands for pollutent run off. We take our water from the mid water column to reduce the chance of pollutents from the surface or the bottom.
