Experience Alpine salt – a treasure from the heart of the Austrian Alps, telling a fascinating story spanning 250 million years. In the picturesque Salzkammergut region, this fossil salt is extracted from deposits that have been used since prehistoric times and are considered the oldest known salt mines in the world. This salt embodies ancient Alpine craftsmanship and connects you to a tradition that stretches back to prehistoric times.
For millions of years, this salt has lain protected beneath a thick layer of rock, shielded from all environmental influences. This natural preservation guarantees absolute purity and makes it one of the purest salts in existence. Geological processes have created a salt that is not only pure but also rich in valuable minerals.
The salinity of Alpine salt is gentle and balanced – never overpowering, always harmonious. It seasons without dominating, allowing the natural flavors of your ingredients to shine through perfectly. This mild saltiness makes it the ideal everyday salt for mindful cooking.
This salt is versatile and easy to use. It's best used after cooking or at the very end of the cooking time as a finishing salt. It's perfect for braised, grilled, or marinated meats, where it enhances the roasted flavors. White fish and shellfish benefit from its gentle seasoning, which doesn't overpower the seafood's natural aroma.
In everyday cooking, Alpine salt proves to be a faithful companion: potatoes, eggs, and numerous vegetables harmonize wonderfully with its balanced minerality. It pairs particularly well with Alpine cheeses – a natural combination that brings the mountains and tradition to the plate.
