This is a one-of-a-kind condiment inspired by Casina Rossa's native Abruzzo. Embodying the "Forte e Gentile" ("Strong and Gentle") nature of the people of Abruzzo, this salt is brilliantly balanced between sweet, savory, and salty ingredients such as concentrated, air-dried and finely-screened mosto cotto (cooked-down grape must from the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wine grape), sweet baking spices and dried fruits, even salt crystal-sized nuggets of dark chocolate and toasted vanilla bean. Sweet & Salt is sensational, a creative chef's muse with endless possibilities, ready to sprinkle on cheese ravioli, pork tenderloin, salad greens with balsamic vinegar, even on chocolate sweets.
This is one of the most interesting and delightful seasonings I have ever tasted. It is absolutely unique!! Wonderful sprinkled on salad with just a drizzle of good balsamic. Also lovely on warm french bread with a bit of butter.
