Finishing Salt Starter Set - 6 Different Sea Salts From Around the World, Small Taster Tins
What is Finishing Salt?The best way to discover finishing salts and begin using them is to try them with your own cooking. Look at them up close, admiring the extraordinary range of shapes and colors, noting how they refract, reflect, or obscure light. Touch them, feeling the crests and edges, letting your fingers snap flakes or crunch chunks, plunging a spoon through a glistening mound of it. Then of course you taste them, and with every dish comes a new discovery as infinite variations of mineral contents and moisture contents and crystal structures and crystal sizes combine in your mouth and the flavors, textures, and aromatics of your food.Our starter sets are the best way to explore finishing salts, whether you are a veteran chef, or have never even heard of finishing salt before, or both!Our aim is on to provide you with salts that are practical and salts that are playful, and some salts that are just plain startling.Our basic starter sets each include six salts.* The Meadow Fleur de Sel,A delicate well-rounded fleur de sel with irregular crystal shapes for bursts of flavor and a high mineral content* Sel Gris Noirmoutier,An effective replacement for all industrial kosher, table, and sea salts.* Maldon Flake Sea Salt,A delicate flakey salt from the UK.
