What are all-natural seasonings?

All-natural seasonings are made from real, recognizable ingredients—such as garlic, herbs, sea salt, and spices. All natural means no artificial additives and preservatives.

At SALTY MAMINA, we keep it real. We use real garlic in every batch of garlic salt. We use pure sea salt and whole peppercorns ground fresh in every batch.

We don’t use anti-caking agents—like corn starch—which is often added to keep ingredients from caking up.

Think of all natural seasonings as the ingredients you’d actually cook with in your own kitchen. Why would you add corn starch to your food - unless you’re trying to make a gravy or thicken up a soup?

What makes SALTY MAMINA all natural?

SALTY MAMINA Garlic Salt is handcrafted in small batches using real, recognizable ingredients—including locally-sourced organic garlic, pure sea salt, fresh peppercorns, and farm-fresh herbs like parsley, basil, and scallion.

We use local farms

We believe it’s important to source local ingredients. Think of our garlic salt as farm to kitchen. We source our all-natural ingredients from local organic-certified farms such as Silverwood Organic Farm and other local farms.

Real garlic in every batch

Our garlic is the best. We start with local and organic garlic from farms we trust. The garlic we use is grown in natural soil and never sprayed with pesticides — so every jar of SALTY MAMINA garlic salt is fresh, natural, and full of flavor.

We never use pre-processed garlic in our garlic salt.

Pure sea salt

I’m picky about my sea salt—it has to be natural, organic-compliant, and chemical-free. Our sustainably harvested sea salt brings that briny, fresh flavor that makes every jar of garlic salt taste amazing. It has a little bite you’ll love.

Why choose all-natural seasonings?

Great food starts with real ingredients. That’s why we keep SALTY MAMINA all-natural—so the flavor actually shows up in your cooking

Preservative-free

Real ingredients means nothing fake inside. Our garlic salt has no artificial flavors, preservatives, or fillers — just simple ingredients you recognize and trust.

Bold flavor for cooking

If you’ve never had garlic salt made with real garlic sourced locally, you are in for a blast of flavor you’ll crave again and again.

Real garlic, pure sea salt, and fresh herbs give our garlic salt a deeper, more balanced flavor than processed blends—and there’s nothing fake inside.

A little goes a long way in recipes—because we use real ingredients means real flavor.

No hidden ingredients

There are no hidden ingredients in our garlic salt. Just real, all-natural goodness—so you can cook the way you want and feel good about every bite.

We start with all-natural and organic garlic grown right here in New England. It’s gently dehydrated and freshly ground in our kitchen, the same way you would—slowly, carefully, and with a lot of love—so the flavor stays warm, bold, and comforting.

Our pure, organic-compliant sea salt is sustainably harvested and full of natural minerals, adding a clean, briny balance that brings everything together without ever overpowering your food.

We add premium peppercorns—the king of spices—taste-tested again and again to give just the right hint of warmth and depth.

And when they’re in season, we finish with organic herbs from our trusted farm partners, chosen like a Mamina would choose produce: only when it’s fresh, only when it’s right.

Our all-natural ingredient philosophy

Nothing extra. Nothing artificial.

At SALTY MAMINA, we believe in cooking the natural way. Our garlic salt is blended in small batches using real ingredients sourced as close to home as possible—just like we’ve done in our family kitchen for generations.

Just honest ingredients, made with care—so your food tastes like it came from someone who loves you.

Real ingredients for better flavor

When seasonings include fillers and anti-caking agents, they dilute flavor they dilute the flavor and hide what’s really in your food.

With all-natural seasonings, the real ingredients shine — giving you better flavor, fewer additives, and more control in your kitchen.
