Located in: Dry Goods, Salts

Premier salts that are grown in special areas around world and are known for their unique textures which allow them to quickly dissolve when applied to food at presentation. These salts bring out the depth of natural flavors of any dish.

Flake sea salt is a light crystal reminiscent of snowflakes. Seawaters are evaporated using the natural processes of sun and wind, producing salt brine that is fed into an open evaporating pan. The brine is then slowly heated to the point where delicate pyramid-shaped crystals of salt appear. The finished product is light, flaky sea salt.

Cyprus Black Lava is Mediterranean Flake Salt mixed with activated charcoal. The beautiful color is not the only benefit that the charcoal adds. It also gives a unique taste and acts as a natural detoxifier.

Comments about Cyprus Black Lava - Mediterranean Flake Salt:

Before I was introduced to sea salt, I thought all salt was the same. When I was given a gift of real sea salt years ago I discovered the world of salt is diverse. This delicious Cyprus Black Lava salt is a recent acquisition and has become a favorite. It's unique bold flavor goes particularly well on baked potatoes with double cream Irish butter.

Great color and shape.
