The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s segments:
It seems that sea salt is everywhere these days.
Even the big chains and fast food joints are dropping it on everything, including the ice cream.
So how can you tell you are getting the freshest and best?
Get it from your neighbors, of course!
Since 2013, the husband-and-wife team of Curt Friedman and Heidi Feldman have been collecting sea water from the Atlantic Ocean surrounding Martha’s Vineyard, using the sun to dehydrate it in small batches, and then blending the freshly-emerged salt with such fresh and refreshing flavors as lemon verbena and dill, smoked oak, blueberry honey, and their deliciously different “naughty”.
After decades of suburban Boston life and years of research, Martha’s Vineyard Sea Salt emerged as some of the freshest and most flavorful salt around. Perfect for any recipe, MV Sea Salt goes well with everything from steak and margaritas to chocolate.
As MV Sea Salt uses the sun to dry the salt and to power much of their machinery; there is no fossil fuel involved. This helps keep the water and air as clear and beautiful as their reusable and environmentally responsible glass packages that bring a beautiful bit of the shore to any home and kitchen.
So while the idea of using sea salt to flavor and preserve foods may be millennia old, MV Sea Salt is showing new ways to use it while making a product that is fresh, reliable, and good for the customer and the planet.
