This is a Natural Pyramid Salt (Escamas de Sal Marina Natural), a premium type of sea salt known for its unique texture and pure taste.
Product description
Pyramid Salt Natural is a gourmet, hand-harvested sea salt. It is formed by the slow crystallization of saltwater, resulting in beautiful, fragile, pyramid-shaped crystals.
Features and Benefits
Shape and Texture: The most striking feature is the shape: hollow, delicate crystals that resemble small pyramids or flakes ( escamas ). This creates an immediate crunchy texture when eaten.
Taste: The salt has a pure, clean and mild salty taste, free from the bitterness sometimes found in regular table salt.
Origin:Spain (Santa Pola, Alicante).
Uses: Due to its fragile structure and crunchy bite, pyramid salt is mainly used as a finishing salt.
Use in the Kitchen
Pyramid salt is intended to enrich dishes at the very last moment:
Meat and Fish: Sprinkle it over grilled steaks, roasted poultry, or fresh fish just before serving. The flakes don't melt immediately, which creates a crisp, salty finish.
Vegetables: Perfect on roasted or steamed vegetables.
Salads: A few flakes over a fresh salad for an extra dimension.
Desserts: Fantastic in combination with chocolate or caramel, where it balances the sweetness.
Tip: Don't use this salt while cooking, as the fine texture will dissolve and the unique effect will be lost. It's purely for texture and visual appeal on the table.
