My favorites are the Hawaiians, which can range from the very highest quality. Examples would be Popohaku Opal Sea Salt from Molokai http://www.atthemeadow.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_126&products_id=571 or Haleakala Ruby from Molokai http://www.atthemeadow.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_126&products_id=9 or the more rudimentary Alaea Volcanic http://www.atthemeadow.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_126&products_id=8 The smoked Maine sea salts are also a way to go, but they are smoked: http://www.atthemeadow.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_126&sort=20a&alpha_filter_id=77 For some reason, The Meadow does not yet stock a plain white sea salt from Maine, but they are working on it. In the meantime, you could go with Stephen Cook's nice salt at: http://www.maineseasalt.com/natural-sea-salt.html Hope that helps! I don’t know of a ton of great artisan salts made in the U.S.A.

I've been looking for an artisan saltmaker in the US and haven't had any luck. Salt is so important to the craft its almost religious but if I can't buy it from a stateside producer in good faith then how can I be a real Slow Foods type of cook? I really appreciate the help, thank you. -John Very informative article. I’ve been looking for an artisan saltmaker in the US and haven’t had any luck.
