Alessi Coarse Sea Salt, Imported from Italy, Tip N' Grind Cap, 2-Pack

Throughout history, salt has been a precious mineral. It was once traded ounce per ounce for gold and even used as currency in Roman times. The word "salary" is derived from the important role salt (säl? in Italian) has played. Salt is a natural product, either mined from the ground or obtained through evaporated seawater.

Alessi Sea Salt comes from the cool, blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, using the oldest method of obtaining salt: evaporation. Seawater is transferred through a series of evaporation ponds, successfully eliminating other elements. The hot, dry climate and gentle breezes hasten the evaporation process, leaving behind only pure white crystals and other valuable trace minerals not found in regular salt.

The coarse crystals of Alessi Sea Salt will add a new dimension to your cooking, enhancing both taste and texture. Savvy gourmets use crunchy sea salt crystals in their salt grinders. Alessi Sea Salt is made naturally from only the sea and the sun.

Imported and Product of Italy, Alessi Sea Salt comes in two 2.83-ounce jars, each with a built-in grinder cap for fresh salt every time. The minerals are stripped from table salt but left intact during the production of sea salt. Whether you use it as a garnish or as an ingredient mixed into sauces and batters, Alessi Sea Salt is sure to bring out the other flavors in your recipes.
