The Meadow Foundations Salt Set

A tool box of natural sea salts for every kitchen!

The right salt used the right way reveals the full flavor potential of every food you eat. The Meadow’s Foundation Set gives you the three salts at the heart of our shared culinary traditions, the essential foundation for salting every dish to perfection, whether you are a home cook or a professional chef. This set comes with brochure that describes each salt and the their respective roles in cooking.

• The Meadow Fleur de Sel – Natural, solar evaporated sea salt from Indonesia made by skimming off salt crystals as they blossom on the surface of an ocean brine. The salt’s magnificently varied, naturally fine crystals glitter seductively through the delicate flavors of subtler foods. Fried eggs and buttered toast, mozzarella and tomato, seared pork or steamed vegetables or grilled seafood—even chocolate brownies. This well-rounded and versatile fleur de sel is your go-to general purpose finishing salt.
• The Meadow Flake Salt - Water from the Mediterranean Sea is carefully crystallized in a greenhouse to form massive pyramidal flakes. Shards of these luminous white crystals deliver a counterpoint of sparkling pungency to salads, raw crunchy vegetables, poached and roasted fruit, hearty soups, and even chocolate chip cookies. The Meadow Flake is the also the ultimate cocktail rimming salt for a Margarita or a Salty Dog.
• The Meadow Sel Gris – Made on the remote island off the southwest tip of Korea by skimming the crystals from the bottom of a solar-salt pan, this sea salt boasts coarse, moist, mineral rich crystals. Used as a finishing salt, it crunches unctuously to provide lush mineral support to grilled steak, haunches of roast beef, whole chicken and turkey, herbed root vegetables, and any other food with a substantial moist or hearty disposition. But is also the best all-purpose cooking salt. Toss it in pasta water, or in boiling water to blanch green beans. Lower in insoluble minerals than most other sel gris, it’s the best natural, unrefined sea salt for all your pickling, curing, and salt-crusting recipes. Throw out the box of artificially refined kosher salt or cheap industrial sea salt! Give your food the salt it deserves.
