Label copy

Beyond flavoring foods on the table, salt was crucial to preserving perishable foods before refrigeration was available. Pork, beef, and fish were rubbed with salt and packed in barrels dry or covered in water to create a brine. Crews on merchant ships ate salted meat and fish during the many months they were at sea procuring commodities for trade.
