Why we choose organic garlic
Clean, simple ingredients, grown with care
Our FRESH philosophy
At SALTY MAMINA, we have a simple philosophy when it comes to making our garlic salt: clean, simple ingredients, grown with care.
The impact of using fresh garlic
Every time you buy SALTY MAMINA garlic salt, you bring fresh garlic salt with the bold bite of fresh, local garlic into your kitchen. You support our local food system and you support local business like SALTY MAMINA who source ingredients from local farms and small businesses.
Where we buy garlic
This year, we were especially excited to source our garlic from Grallert Farm in Millis, Massachusetts. In July, we picked up a whole lot of their freshly harvested garlic and brought it back to our kitchen.
Their hardneck garlic has the big, bold, naturally-complex flavor we look for in our garlic salt. Freshly harvested local garlic has a distinctive bite and a spicy, lingering sensation. It’s bold, fresh, and full of character.
And that fresh garlic makes our garlic salt truly special—spicy and bold, with a bright, savory finish.
Local garlic is fresh garlic
We love the taste of New England garlic and we LOVE the way it makes our small-batch garlic salt pop with flavor. Fresh local garlic has the bold, complex flavor we love, and we feel good about knowing where it comes from.
We support local farms
Our focus on local farms enables us to source more of our ingredients close to home while supporting New England agriculture.
We look for the freshest, best-tasting garlic we can find as close to our kitchen as possible. After all, garlic is the foundational ingredient in our fresh garlic salt. Fresh, local garlic gives us the flavor we expect and the farm-to-kitchen flavor you deserve.
What does farm-to-kitchen mean for you?
Farm-to-kitchen means freshness in your kitchen. We hand-pick garlic from local farms and dehydrate it right away to capture the bold bite of fresh garlic. Every time you buy SALTY MAMINA garlic salt, you’re getting fresh, honest flavor in every jar.
Why we use organic garlic
We source organic and pesticide-free garlic from farms across New England—prioritizing growers as close to home as we can—for our garlic salt.
Certified organic farmers follow standards designed to protect soil health and restrict synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. We feel good knowing we’re supporting farming practices designed to protect us.
Because garlic is the foundation of our garlic salt—and so many of our other seasonings—we believe it deserves to be sourced with the same care we put into everything we make.
Fresh garlic. Local farms. Organic whenever we can. That’s how we choose our garlic.
