Italy / Sicily
Sea Salt
It’s from Italy and it has a really bright flavor, and a fairly low mineral quality. I think it's a great sea salt.

ROSE VALLEY BUTTER
USA / Oregon
Butter
It's a local creamery and their butter is just incredibly rich and creamy. It seems to be a little bit more heavy cream than other butters. It comes from right down the road from us which is great. I'm a fan of all things local, but only if it's of the best quality. Because if it's not the best quality then it really doesn't matter all that much.

Grand Central is one of my favorites. The baguette has a really nice crusty crust, nice chewy kind of yeasty bread inside and a little bit of aeration. But it's not a big air pocket. It's just the perfect combination.

It’s like a culinary amusement park. They've just got all the great things that you love about food, wine, and beer. It’s fun to go in there. I picked up some great butter from Vermont with sea salt in it. And it was just awesome.

I like their Guatemalan Fleur de Sel. It’s got a beautiful light kind of fun texture. It's not typically a finishing salt. I use it in salad dressing and when cooking, in place of kosher salt.

Grocery Market
It's a local grocery store here and they've got incredible French-style butter. It's a rough kind of unmolded butter, so it's not one that comes in the traditional sticks. It's just a really nice easy-to-spread, super rich creamy butter.
Who
Ben Jacobsen is the harvester and owner of Jacobsen Salt Company in Portland, Oregon.
Why
Using traditional methods, Jacobsen harvests pure salt crystals from Oregon’s coastal waters to make his clean and bright sea salt.
