In 2009,
Ben started to experiment. It took him two and a half years of trial
and error before he finalized the product. Not only did Jacobsen need to
perfect the process, but he also wanted to use the finest water. “For
me, finding the best water was just like a winemaker finding the best
grapes,” he explains. Jacobsen’s favorite dish on which he garnishes
salt is simple—he likes to put classic finishing salt on eggs and toast
in the morning. Ben sees Jacobsen salt as an approachable, user-friendly
luxury that brings out the natural flavor of each dish.
