Humble salt is enjoying something of a renaissance, with gourmets singing the praises of artisanal salt. Mark Bitterman has become an expert on the seasoning; he owns a store called The Meadow, in Portland, OR, where they offer 85 varieties of sea salt, which include those with mild to intense salinity, with a touch of sweetness and with hints of unexpected flavors (like truffles). For your wedding meal, Bitterman suggests featuring a trio of salts - a delicate fleur de sel, a snappy flake sea salt and a smoked sea salt - at each table. Use a tented card to introduce guests to the flavors and ideal uses of each, and encourage experimentation. At the end of the night, offer guests the chance to practice their new salt knowledge at home by giving small jars of crystals as favors.
The new salts are awesome, and the bonus chili like salt is excellent as well!
So glad they were a hit and that you enjoyed your mystery salt!
This chocolate tasted like the chocolate i used to get from my nanny at easter, the chocolate was a bunny and an egg and it came in a box with grass in it, it was nice to have that memory.
This may be the sweetest review we've ever received! Thank you for sharing :)
I ordered this set to try some fresh peppers from around the world. I even bought a new mortar and pestle for the table. I have tried all of them and nearly finished two jars in about two weeks. The Tellicherry and Voatisperifery are my favorites but I like them all. Getting ready to make a second order.
So glad we were able to introduce you to some fresh new-to-you peppercorns. Thank you so much for this review, we're excited for you to try even more salt and pepper combos with your next order :)
