This, our top-of-the-line gourmet sea salt, will satify an epicurean's discriminating palate. Chefs have claimed that these Red 'Alaea Sea Salts "smoothens the 'bite' of sea salt".
Red ‘Alaea (pronounced 'ah-lie') Salt is a mixture of sea salt and Hawaiian Red ‘Alaea Clay, a volcanic clay found only on certain Hawaiian Islands. Red 'Alaea clay contains iron oxide, hence the reddish color and is naturally rich with trace minerals. Ancient Hawaiians used Red 'Alaea Salt in ceremonial and religious rituals to cleanse, purify and heal. Today, these salts are used primarily for cooking. They have become quite popular with chefs and gourmet cooks around the world, desiring to heighten the flavors of their dishes with the magic of Red 'Alaea Salt from Hawaii.
After many trials our founder, Janis Tanga, perfected our now trade secret SavorBlast™ process to blend this salt with fresh herbs and all natural spices. Unlike other blended sea salts whose added seasonings visually separate after shaking, this process produces salt crystals in which each grain is infused with our secret formula of herbs and spices.
Take the taste test: Place one grain of our salt on your tongue and experience the "explosion" of flavor ... SavorBlast!
The variety of all natural blends available in Red 'Alaea Sea Salt are:
Note that in regions of varying humidity, our sea salt may cake up as we do not add any anti-caking agents period. Other food grade salt may include anti-caking agents like calcium silicate, sodium ferrocyanide or potassium ferrocyanide to make their product flow freely. Our salt is still usable if it does cake. For your health concerns, we strongly feel that the minor inconvenience of breaking up the caked salt outweighs the need for these additives.
