Andes Mountain Rose Finishing Salt - Coarse

Andes Mountain Rose — Ground up and sprinkled on brook trout, or left whole as a bed for roasted pork loin, Andes Mountain Rose is faintly sweet, glowing with colors as subtle as its flavor. This salt was hand quarried in Bolivia from an ancient dried ocean bed which, over the course of millions of years, had risen with the growth of the Andes mountain range.

The salt deposits were capped under a hermetic layer of volcanic ash, protecting them from external contaminants, so you are literally tasting the flavors of the earth’s primordial oceans. Over the millennia, these salt crystals have taken on the translucent colors of cranberry and tangerine gemstones. This finishing salt is suitable for use in a grinder, whole in cooking, or as decoration at the table, or on special dishes. It is very mild, perfectly balanced, and slightly sweet, with a clean finish. Try it on seafood, ceviche, and salads of cucumber, lime, and chilis.
