What it does: Procures gourmet sea salt--such as Fumée de Sel, a French salt smoked with oak chips from barrels once used to age Chardonnay--from all over the world and sells it to consumers, restaurants, grocers, and spas. (See a beauty shot of the company's salts here.)

Why it's growing: The popularity of shows like Iron Chef has sparked a growing appreciation for gourmet ingredients. SaltWorks has long histories and strong partnerships with key players overseas. That's why so many spice companies and grocers buy from SaltWorks instead of importing gourmet salts themselves.
