COASTAL GOODS organic herbs rubs brines salts

One of my new year’s resolutions was to admit that I am a salt freak. Ok, so I did it. I have found an awesome source for salts and fine herbs. Not to mention they are lovely people.

The husband/wife team of Nigel and Sarah are the founders and creative impetus behind Coastal Goods. While armies are known to march on their stomachs, Nigel and Sarah tend travel the world with a keen culinary eye for those gastronomic idiosyncrasies that define their destinations. In fact, their romance as well as entrepreneurial collaboration began during a winter sailing jaunt around the islands of the French Caribbean. Inspired by the vibrant seasonings of the West Indies and the ease with which these herbs and spices infused the limited provisions of shipboard living with intense flavor complexity, the couple hatched a plan to bring a bounty of equatorial spice back to warm their wind-whipped Nantucket Island kitchen.

After over a decade of success in introducing unique seasoning concepts to specialty food markets, Nigel and Sarah sold their original company to start Coastal Goods in 2002. From the get-go, the idea behind Coastal Goods was to begin by focusing on what they had come to see as the world's most important as well as popular seasonings: salt and pepper. Indeed, Sarah's Sea Salt - one of the couple's first and best-selling seasoning creations - became both the anchor and inspiration for Coastal Goods expansion into the new product lines of Salt Sensations and Pepper Perfections.

With distribution in many of the best specialty food shops and gourmet groceries nationwide, the Coastal Goods collection has expanded over the past couple of years to include a cinnamon-infused Sweet Sensations line, three Brine Time blends for easy one-step brining, and an internationally-extensive, pantry-specific array of organic herbs and spices.

Passionately believing that both spice and living by the sea make life taste better, Nigel continues to design and develop new products from the family's home base on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Meanwhile, Sarah, a nationally known cookbook author, food writer, and enthusiastic mother, serves as Coastal Goods' resident culinarian, devising delicious new recipes with the fruits of her husband's ever-inventive labors.
