General Questions
What makes Fairhope Salt different from regular table salt?
Fairhope Salt is hand-harvested from the pristine waters of the Gulf of Mexico using traditional methods. Unlike processed table salt, our salt retains its natural minerals, offering a clean, briny flavor with a delicate texture that enhances any dish.
Where is your salt sourced from?
We collect our seawater from the shores of Gulf Shores, Alabama, where the waters of Mobile Bay meet the Gulf of Mexico, creating a unique mineral composition ideal for crafting premium flake salt.
Is Fairhope Salt Company salt organic?
While salt itself cannot be certified organic, our harvesting process is completely natural with no additives, preservatives, or processing chemicals—just pure Gulf salt.
What types of salt do you offer?
We currently offer three signature products:
- Premium Flake Salt: Perfect for finishing dishes with a light, crispy texture.
- Professional Grade Powder: A fine salt ideal for baking and cooking.
- Umami Salt Blend: Infused with natural flavors to enhance a variety of dishes.
