Where every pinch tastes good and does good

Some salts just season food. Keep It Savory Salt Co. seasons life.

Born on Chicago’s West Side, this woman-owned, small-batch brand was founded by science-and-history-teacher-turned-“salt maven” Johanna Thompson, who believes flavor and community belong at the same table. Her handcrafted sea salts are cured with fresh, local ingredients—each one a love letter to homegrown goodness.

Let’s talk taste.

The Vanilla Bean Sea Salt brings that sweet-meets-salty drama that turns an everyday latte, cookie, or roasted nut into a full-on treat. Rosemary Sage Sea Salt feels like Sunday dinner in a jar—earthy, herbaceous, and quietly comforting. Lemon Thyme Sea Salt wakes up seafood, salads, and roasted veggies with a citrusy brightness that just sings.

And the show-stopper? Garlic Scape Sea Salt—bold, aromatic, and absolutely addictive. Toss it on popcorn or pasta and prepare for applause.

But here’s the real secret ingredient: purpose. Keep It Savory sources from urban farmers on Chicago’s West Side, championing food access and economic justice. Ten percent of profits go right back into organizations working to rebuild historically disinvested neighborhoods.

So when you season your meal, you’re also seasoning change.

Keep It Savory Salt Co. isn’t just a brand—it’s a movement to say no to bland, yes to bold, and always keep it savory.
