Pig Salt is the cure for the common pork. The creation of Portland based chef, sommelier, and pioneer of the pork palate Joe White, Pig Salt gives the home chef the tools necessary to get the most out of pork. Joe found his passion for food in the backyard BBQs of family and friends growing up in the agriculturally fertile Wenatchee Valley. Joe took this passion for food to Arizona, where he earned his Culinary Arts degree and sommelier certification. He is now an Executive Chef in Portland, Oregon. Each Pig Salt product is created to allow the home chef to get the flavors of a trained chef. The idea for Pig Salt came from Joe helping his Dad make ribs. Joe realized with the right ingredients and a few tips, his Dad was capable of creating high end restaurant flavor.
