Mediterranean Sea Salt
What it is
This is a natural sea salt harvested from the Mediterranean Sea. The crystals are often larger and have a slightly irregular shape compared to table salt. Its purity comes from evaporation of seawater, capturing the essence of the ocean.
How people cook with it
Sea salt is a fundamental seasoning used in kitchens worldwide. It enhances the natural flavors of food.
- Seasoning meats before cooking
- Finishing baked goods
- Adding to salad dressings
- Enhancing vegetable dishes
Use this sea salt as you would any other salt for everyday cooking. It can be added during the cooking process to build layers of flavor or sprinkled on finished dishes for a burst of salinity and a pleasant textural contrast. Its larger crystals dissolve more slowly, making it ideal for finishing dishes where a visual and textural element is desired.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike refined table salt, which is often iodized and has a uniform fine grain, Mediterranean sea salt is less processed.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs appreciate its natural qualities and versatility.
How to keep the rest
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent clumping. Keep the container tightly sealed to preserve its freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors from the environment. A pantry or cupboard is an ideal location.
