Salty advice and a recipe for Chevre with Cyprus Black Flake Sea Salt and Cacao Nibs
Salting as a deliberate act.
Sounds a bit intense. And for Mark Bitterman, it is. It's a call to action, a plan to banish bland food. "Think about salting as a deliberate act," says Bitterman, author of "Salted" (Ten Speed Press, 2010), a 312-page devotional to salt. "This isn't about being a fancy chef. It's about how to make every single food you eat in your daily life come alive." Because truth is, salt has a powerful effect on food. And just a little bit goes a long way. Here's Bitterman's tips to help you sort through the maze of salts that crowd the market. Salts vary in moisture, mineral content and the size and structure of their crystals, Bitterman says. Moisture dictates "mouth feel," while mineral content will play up or tone down a food's intrinsic qualities, such as fruitiness. Crystal size creates different sensations on the tongue.
Love to use saffron with fish dishes. This was a perfect find salt and saffron. I will return for more.
This is so wonderful on plain popcorn…yakes me to italy with minimal calories, but full flavor…lick out the bowl delish!
I loved the carefully packaged order. It came with a hand written note and you can tell how much they care about details and quality of their products. I will be purchasing more gifts from them for sure
This salt is one of the most glorious salty flavors I've ever experienced. Yes, I add it to this dish and that ... and sometimes I just take a taste of it, as is, to savor.
We love this basic salt that is not necessarily basic. We use it daily. It is a staple in our kitchen.
