About Soundside Salt

Plump and salty, Soundside Salts carry briny, buttery, and umami flavors year-round, and from midwinter to midspring take on a vivid blue-green gill color from a seasonal bloom of the micro-algae Haslea ostrearia, found only in the cleanest waters.

In plain words: briny, buttery, umami, plump, with briny salt.
