Experience Persian Blue Salt – one of the rarest and most sought-after salts in the world. This exceptional rock salt of extraordinary purity comes from one of the oldest salt mines in the world, nestled in the rocky mountains of the Semnan province in Iran. Its formation began over 100 million years ago in a long-vanished sea. Even today, it is harvested by hand, using artisanal methods passed down for centuries.
Persian Blue Salt bears the poetic nickname "Iran's Blue Gold"—and for good reason. It is a truly rare and precious treasure sought after by gourmets worldwide. Its richness in potassium and trace elements not only gives it health benefits but also its unique appearance: magnificent blue reflections caused by the presence of sylvinite in the mine's minerals. This bluish hue is extremely rare and is found in only a tiny fraction of the mined crystals.
On the palate, the salinity is immediate yet balanced: lively and brief, followed by a subtle, slightly lemony note. Crisp, delicate, and refined – this exceptional salt enhances both the simplest and the most elaborate dishes, transforming them into something truly special.
Its use is versatile and elegant. Ideally, use it freshly ground from a salt mill as a finishing salt, where it reveals its full finesse. As an all-rounder, it wonderfully complements seafood – from mussels to fish. It harmonizes perfectly with eggs, numerous vegetables (both in salads and roasted), as well as grilled meat or carpaccio.
Blue salt also enhances refined dishes such as foie gras or scallops. Surprisingly and impressively, it also finds its place in desserts, where it elevates chocolate mousse, salted butter caramel, or even vanilla ice cream to a new level.
Exclusively available at the Eterna Concept Store in Stäfa on Lake Zurich. This Persian Blue Salt is more than just a spice – it's a natural wonder, a piece of Persian history, and pure luxury on your plate. An exceptional gift for collectors and gourmets.
