Meet the Owner: Kristina and Zoe Stewart of Nons Salts

Seasoned with Love and Support

Kristina’s grandmother, Noni, handmade her own seasoned salt blends. These salts brought not only flavor but also love into their family’s lives. Originally from an Italian family in northwestern Pennsylvania, much of Kristina’s childhood was spent gathered around a lively Sunday dinner table at Noni’s house. But beyond the meals and stories was something even more lasting: Noni’s handmade pinching salts. Harvested from herbs grown on her porch and gifted to the family in big mason jars, these blends became a symbol of connection that carried through generations.

Many years later, Kristina and her father found the secret recipe for the salt their family and friends had always loved. Kristina knew from a young age that the salts had the potential to become something more. It wasn’t until years later that her family’s tradition found new life in Raleigh, North Carolina. After moving to the area in 2015, Kristina began recreating the family recipe, sharing it with new friends and neighbors who quickly embraced it just as her family once had. What started as a heartfelt gesture has grown into Nons Salts, a business built on heritage, local ingredients, and the hope of bringing people together one jar at a time.
