  • About

Sea salt is the universal seasoning used in everyday cooking throughout the world to flavour and preserve food and to heighten the flavour of other ingredients. As opposed to rock salt, which is mined, sea salt is produced by the evaporation of sea water or water from salt marshes, the best varieties coming from England and France, where it is known as gros sel. Excellent sea salt from South Australia has recently appeared on the market, too. More costly to produce than other types of salt, sea salt flakes are odourless but have a strong, salty taste and do not include the iodine and magnesium carbonate found in processed table salt. Kosher salt, available from Jewish food stores, has a very similar texture and taste to sea salt as it contains no additives. Available: widely (gourmet food stores, in particular).
