This is where it all began for Dutch – in the Mediterranean liberally sampling its cuisine and culture. While there was much to fall in love with, the rough seas and even rougher crew of misfits made it practical to bring back one thing – a mild flavored large flake sea salt from Cyprus.

Despite Dutch’s rough exterior, he likes adding a gourmet touch to every meal. This is his go-to salt and is used on everything from grilled steaks, roasted seafood, steamed vegetables and as a crunchy finishing salt on his favorite chocolate chip cookies.
