“PURE NUTRIENT RICH OCEAN WATER MAKES PURE NUTRIENT RICH OCEAN SALT"
Slow evaporation is the best method of reducing the salt water for mineral retention. Unlike table salt, good quality unrefined, pure, sea salt can contain up to 87 trace minerals. These minerals are a crucial contribution to our immune, digestive and circulatory systems as well as many other benefits to our health. We believe that the ocean provides us with many of the natural minerals we need and it is important to us to share these health benefits with you.

What makes Hatteras Saltworks solar evaporated sea salt unique is our location. Our solar oven farm is located 30 miles off the coast of NC on Hatteras Island. We have the Gulf Stream and Labrador current meeting right off our coast, giving us bountiful fishing, beautiful surf and the cleanest most nutrient rich waters we could find. Our remote location is far from any major cities and due to the small population here we have little water runoff from humans to deal with.

Due to the National Park on Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands, it is prohibited to remove ocean water from their beaches to make Sea Salt. For this reason, in the past, we have utilized the Avon Pier , thanks to the Thompson Family. In 2020 we purchased a classic 22' Sisu, used by the Navy on the James River. Now in 2021 we have completely overhauled the decks, stern, engine etc. to carry pristine ocean water from Hatteras Inlet .

PROCESS
After we collect our source water, filter and evaporate in Hoop Houses at farm, we then hand pick the Sea Salt in our NCDA approved packaging facility. This is when we break down the crystals and have a final drying in our Solar ovens. We then package each bag by hand and either bring to market or sell online. In all aspects of our process we keep our Solar Evaporated Sea Salt as pure and natural as possible.
