What the label says
Quoted as printed, so the claims can be read for what they are.
- Perfect all-around cooking
- This coarse-grained sea salt is all you need for your grilled meats to taste just like a traditional South American barbecue.
- Gluten free · Non-GMO · All natural · Kosher · Packed in USA
What we can add
The crystal is genuinely coarse: irregular translucent chunks, many several millimetres across, mixed with smaller broken pieces. The jar is a shaker rather than a grinder, and the side panel directs the salt toward grilled meat and South American barbecue.
The package says Packed in USA and gives a Pompano Beach company address. Neither statement identifies the seawater, coast, saltworks or country of crystallisation. Packing location is not salt origin, so the origin remains unstated.
Unlike the other jars currently in the guide, this package has no Nutrition Facts panel. Rather than infer a serving or sodium value from another listing, the guide records those fields as not declared.
The sodium arithmetic
This package carries no Nutrition Facts panel, serving weight or sodium declaration. We therefore leave sodium per serving and sodium per gram uncomputed rather than substituting a theoretical value.
The ingredient list contains only sea salt, but a theoretical value is not a substitute for a figure declared on this jar.
The price
$7.95 for 226 g (8 oz) is $1.00 an ounce, or $15.96 a pound — $3.52 per 100 g, $35.18 a kilo. Among the 10 salts in the guide it is number 10 by price per weight, dearest first. We paid retail at The Spice Lab in Pompano Beach, FL, on September 19, 2026.
Tasting notes
None yet. We publish tasting notes only against a stated method — how many tasters, in what order, on what food — and we have not run that panel on this salt. When we do, they go here.

Why a salt company is doing this
Gaucho Provisions sells Patagonian sea salt. This guide records what is on other people’s labels, at the prices we paid, with a photograph of the crystal on white. Every field is copied from the package or the receipt; nothing is scored. We paid retail for every jar, nobody sent us one, and we have no relationship with any brand listed. Our own salts will be entered with the same fields and no more.
