Market Square Sells Some Amazing SaltWe have fantastic news – You can now find our unrefined sea salts and hand made blends at Market Square of West Bloomfield, Michigan! We have been a big fan of this store for years as it has an incredible gourmet food selection, and delicious prepared foods – and now Beyond the Shaker is gracing this market’s shelves.

Our premium gourmet salts can be purchased at the West Bloomfield location at 2100 Walnut Lake Road. During the holiday season, our pure unrefined sea salts make a wonderful host/hostess gift even without the need for wrapping paper – the beautiful hand crafted Italian jars make a stunning impression before you even get to the gastronomic experience inside!

Anyway, please stop in and ask for our salts – you won’t be sorry. As always, we thank our valuable customers and Market Square for support.

Great Review for Beyond the Shaker Gourmet Salts

Posted December 12th, 2010 by Chris
Filed under: ,

evalu8.org logo for salt reviewBeyond the Shaker’s premium gourmet salts recently received a five star “Highly Recommend” rating from lifestyle review site evalu8.org. You can read the entire text of the glowing review here. Anne Garber, the brains behind this wonderfully inspired review site (and we are not just saying that because of the favorable rating!), has fantastic insight on a slew of products and services.

To quote part of the review, “This product is everything the owners claim: It’s high quality, beautifully packaged and quite unique.” Couldn’t have said it better ourselves! We appreciate the kind words of Anne and her review team. Certainly we believe our unrefined salts and blends are amazing, but it is humbling to see that objective third parties actually agree. Anyway, check out evalu8.org and of course, enjoy our salts!

Dill-icious Blend Obtains its First Accolades

Free Press ArticleWe are very excited about the response we have received for our new Dill-icious Blend salt. At a recent holiday show in Birmingham, Michigan, this unique salt blend was an incredible hit. Well now we have some more great news on this amazing blend – a recent Detroit Free Press article highlighted this salt and the amazing flavors it extols – “Once…the jar is opened, the prominent aroma is dill with a good taste balance.”

And that says it all really. Anyway, we highly encourage you to try this one out as it is truly a winner. The everyday salmon, popcorn, and potatoes you eat will thank you. Trust us. Enjoy!
