Ocean Salt

Fed by the cold deep currents of the Antarctic Ocean, the icy, clear-blue water at the southern region of Australia forms the cleanest salt in the world.

These ocean salts are worthy of carrying the Costco Kirkland brand name.

The Cleanest Salt

Pristine Polar® Ocean Salt is sustainably harvested and exceptionally clean right from the ponds. Once perfected by SaltWorks’ Optically Clean® technology, Polar is unmatched in purity.

Polar®

Polar is perfect for everyday use, as an ingredient or as a snack topping. Available in small and coarse grain sizes.

SaltWorks utilizes proprietary ultrasonic sifter screens to remove all the powder, moisture, and out-of-spec grain sizes that cause shakers to clog up, and clumps to develop.
