Description
One of the first female salt makers in Scandinavia, Michal Overland makes these delicate flakes of salt on the tiny island of Aukra using waterfall power. Harvested from the cold, clean waters along the Northwestern coast of Norway, these delicate pyramid-shaped flakes of salt bring out the flavor of green salads, sautéed vegetables and desserts such as chocolate mousse or bread pudding. Bitterman Salt Co. began by pure chance, and as another company altogether—the Meadow, founded in June of 2006 in Portland, Oregon, offering gourmet salt, bean-to-bar chocolate bars, vermouths and cocktail bitters, and fresh cut flowers. By October of 2006, The Meadow began selling salt wholesale to early adopters, like James Beard Award winning chef and restauranteur Gabe Rucker, James Beard Award winning chef and restauranteur Naomi Pomeroy, and James Beard Award winning chef and restauranteur Vitaly Paley. In 2012, Bitterman Salt Co. was officially established to proudly back the salt with a name that matches the mission of Bitterman Salt Co.: to bring flavor to life through salt.
