Salt Flakes Pink gourmet spice in jar

Can you also add our Salt Flakes Pink to pasta water? Sure, you can. But honestly? That would be a real waste! The flakes are much, much better as table salt and final finish for salads, steaks, fish or seafood.

What a transformation: salt is salt, is salt - no, it's not that simple. After all, our pink stone flakes are something very special. And we'd like to tell you why that is. The salt originates in the Punjab Mountains of Pakistan and is mined there. And that's it? Far from it. To turn the hard rock salt into delicate flakes, the first step is to dissolve it in a basin to form brine - the name given to a mixture of salt and water. Fresh water, to be precise. Wind and sun then do their bit to make the salt settle on the surface of the water. And then real manual labor is required. Because this is exactly how the resulting salt flakes are skimmed off and dried in the sun. The characteristic pink color of the rock salt, which appears as elegant as a fleur de sel, is due to the proportion of iron and manganese in the salt.
