This is an innovative type of salt flake ( escama ) that combines traditional, fragile salt flakes with the deep, earthy flavor of activated charcoal and the sharpness of black pepper. The result is a visually striking and flavorful seasoning.
Unique Features
Salt type: Sea salt foam/flake salt ( escamas de sal marina ). Like pyramid salt, the shape creates an intense, crunchy texture .
Charcoal (Activated Carbon): The addition of activated carbon gives the salt a spectacular, deep black color. This provides a mild, slightly smoky or mineral note without being overpowering.
Pepper: Finely ground or coarsely crushed black peppercorns are mixed into the flakes, giving each grain a pleasant, spicy undertone.
Visual Impact: The intense black color of the salt provides abeautiful contrast on light dishes, making it a favourite in modern gastronomy.
Use in the Kitchen
This is a finishing salt that is best used when added after cooking so that the texture and colour are retained.
Red Meat: Fantastic on grilled steaks, lamb chops, or roast meats, where the charcoal accentuates the smoky flavor of the grilling.
Fish: A dash over light fish (such as cod or sea bass) or scallops for a striking visual effect and a peppery kick.
Eggs: A nice addition to scrambled eggs, omelets or a poached egg.
Salads and Vegetables: Use sparingly over potato salads or roasted vegetables (such as asparagus or carrots) for color and flavor.
Vegan: Gives a 'meat-like' appearance and taste to, for example, grilled eggplant or mushrooms.
In short: This charcoal and pepper sea salt foam is a must-have for the home chef looking for a unique, visually appealing, and flavorful salt to elevate their dishes.
