Who is behind the product?
Frontier Co-op describes itself as a cooperative owned by its wholesale customers, with roots dating to 1976. The photographed grinder names Frontier as distributor in Norway, Iowa. That role does not identify the mine, salt processor or packing plant for this product. Read the brand profile.

No Gaucho cooking or grinder-performance test has been recorded. Future notes can document grind setting, measured quantity and results.
The photographed package

Still to establish
- Confirm retailer, branch and purchase/capture date; retain a receipt if the actual price paid is to be recorded.
- Identify source country, mine, salt processor, physical packer and importer for SKU 19512.
- Confirm the meaning of M205002C and obtain any relevant lot/date information from the original bottle.
- Verify current kosher certification directly if independent certification confirmation is needed.
- Record a kitchen/grinder test before adding a performance or tasting verdict.
