Robert Steinbach & Connie Classen - Salt Spring Sea Salt

Conny Classen and Robert Steinbach together bring over 40 years experience in the hospitality sector to bear on the re-energized Salt Spring Sea Salt Ltd. Known as chefs, caterers, food lovers and wine enthusiasts, Robert and Conny bring their business acumen to the salt business at a time when demand for these high quality, hand-crafted locally sourced products is growing quickly.

The founders of Salt Spring Sea Salt were Philippe Maril and his wife Carolyn. It was Philippe’s French upbringing and the influence of his late grandmother’s culinary prowess that inspired him to begin making Fleur de Sel – the finest finishing salt – here in Canada. Since 2014, the company has been making salt products starting with the waters of the Salish Sea. Robert and Connie have been continuing the tradition started by their friends since Philippe passed away in 2022.
