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 us achieve our 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 our mission ever since to revive the salt making industry on the Isle of Portland, and to breathe life back into our stunning coastal town.

Our salt.

Every flake of Dorset sea salt is produced and harvested at our salt works on Chesil beach in Dorset.

Using carefully controlled brines and slow evaporation, we craft delicate, pyramid-shaped flakes prized by chefs and home cooks alike. Each batch is closely monitored by our experienced team to ensure consistent quality and texture.

Every flake is harvested by hand, gently dried and packed at our Dorset site before being sent to kitchens across the UK and beyond.

Although our natural salt flakes put us on the map, we have evolved to become specialist purveyors of salts and seasoning. We didn’t go through all this trouble for fish and chips though. To us seasoning isn’t just a garnish, it’s a key ingredient. Our salt flakes add unrivalled flavour to focaccia, our fine salt expertly cures fish or and our rubs will take your marinades to the next level. With our products you will feel the flavour at your fingertips, and be free to cook creatively.
