BIG SUR
The Big Sur coast of California is a large, sparsely populated region where lush riparian woodlands meet jagged coastline, babbling brooks flow through foggy Redwood forests, and gusts of wind mix salty ocean air with the scent of coniferous forests. A visit to Big Sur is a spiritual awakening; you enter the same sacred land where the Ohlone and other native tribes once gathered mussels and abalone and later, where poets and writers of the 1960s traveled in pursuit of nature’s revelation.It is the all-encompassing experience; raw, rejuvenating smells, spectacular landscapes and thundering ocean.
Carlo Overhulser was taking it all in the day he dreamed up Big Sur Salts. A simple beginning--ocean water in a beer bottle--manifested his obsession; harvesting and creating these salt blends in a sometimes adventurous, ever passionate, and meticulous process. The resulting product is something magical; a way to enjoy the sensory pleasures of this bountiful natural resource without stepping foot - or leaving a footprint.
