Bitterman's Black Lava Salt

I was running low on a Hawaiian black salt, which is probably in my top 3 as far as salts go. I was super excited to see this at The Meadow, and purchased a large jar (assumptions, right?) to keep me supplied. The salt is pretty, and it does add flavor (it is salt, after all), but I found the overall taste less than thrilling, which is a disappointment every time I break it out.

loved the black salt! and it looks great too.

My friend gifted me a tin a year ago.happy to find the website to reorder after it was gone.

This is indeed a black salt. But there is kind of a transparency to it. It looks more like a black smoke cloud than a piece of coal. The salt crystals seem to have a very uniform shape. And overall I feel like this salt is kind of moist. I had been using the black diamond and crushing it for something finer, so I tried this. I also use the Japanese bamboo salt pretty regularly. This black lava salt is now my fall-back, but not my absolute fav.

Love this salt on pretty much anything, but it’s especially yummy and gorgeous on a sliced avocado.
