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.
I was getting near the end of my favorite salt and I hate driving into, through, or around the new, nearly destroyed, Portland OR! Ordering online with shipment directly to my house, while a bit expensive, was well worth it! Thank you for making it easy!
I use this wonderful chili lime salt to make simple things super e.g. avocado on toast, taco salad, cheese quesadillas, tacos, tomatoes.... it zests up food items deliciously!
Yep, no surprises, it’s perfect! I’ve been adding this to my weekly soup recipes and happily sprinkling it on most everything else I’ve been cooking up! 😋
Simply put…It’s great! I need more greens, so why not my salt too?! I let a little of it dry out and added it to my salt grinder. Tastes wonderful and everyone could use more green in their life! ;)
