We believe in the art of slow living, where every grain of salt and drop of vinegar tells a story of the sea and the land.

The Intersection of Salt

Salt Air Cellars was born from two lives intertwined by a love for vibrancy, bold flavors, and adventure. Larry and Stephanie met while serving on the board of a local yacht club, where they discovered a shared passion for sailing, community, and the stories told over a great meal.

From ocean breezes to sun-soaked gatherings, their experiences have always been seasoned—literally and figuratively—by the magic of salt. What better way to capture that essence than by crafting salts and vinegars that bring people together, turning everyday moments into something extraordinary?

Larry

A retired geo-scientist with an insatiable curiosity for the earth’s elements and systems. Larry spent decades exploring both land and sea. An avid surfer who finds solace in the rhythm of the waves, he was also a passionate home brewer for 40 years, mastering the art of fermentation and flavor balance with the same precision he applied to his scientific studies.

Stephanie

A seasoned EA to C-level executives, Stephanie has spent much of her career on the move, gathering stories, connections, and culinary inspiration along the way. A love of flavor and curiosity in the kitchen sparked her journey into crafting salts from the garden she and Larry planted. With an approach rooted in health, joy, and creativity, she blends global influences with coastal ease—each batch designed to nourish, delight, and transport.
