Syracuse Salt Company

The idea for Syracuse Salt Company started four years ago, after Libby Croom brought back infused salts from her honeymoon. Today, she runs the business with her father, David Iannicello, and the pair use a process similar to that from the 1700s and 1800s to make their salt, pumping salty water out of the well at their production space in Syracuse and evaporating the water. Syracuse Salt Company offers flake salt, infused salts, salt lamps, soaps and candles.
Location
Iannicello says the company currently has 30 retail partners. Visit their website for more information.
