Himalayan Crystal Salt (Punjab, Pakistan)
Himalayan salt is perhaps the best-known of all rock salts and is referred to as Himalayan crystal salt due to its purity and crystalline structure. Characteristic of this natural salt is its pink coloration, which can vary from soft white-pink to vibrant pink-orange. This fascinating coloration is due to the natural minerals and trace elements contained in Himalayan crystal salt, particularly its high iron content.
Despite its name, this salt is not directly associated with the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world. The somewhat misleading term “Himalayan salt” comes from Peter Ferreira’s book “Water and Salt.” In reality, it is exclusively mined in the salt mines in the northern Pakistani province of Punjab, the foothills of the Himalayas known as the “Little Himalayas.”
In terms of flavor, Himalayan crystal salt has a fine and mild note that adapts perfectly to most dishes. It also has a highly beneficial effect when used in salt baths. Whether in the kitchen or as a relaxing bath additive, Himalayan crystal salt brings the pure power of nature into your home. We offer it as a pure and untreated natural product.
Cubic Halite Salt (Punjab, Pakistan)
Our natural Cubic Halite salt, also known as “Salt of Kings” or “Diamond of Salt,” is a true jewel among rock salts. The purest of all untreated salts found in nature, it presents itself in a radiant natural white that sometimes appears almost transparent.
Another special feature of Cubic Halite salt lies in its extraordinary crystal lattice structure. The nearly perfect horizontal and vertical lines give it its characteristic cubic shape, especially prominent in the chunks. This structure causes the halite salt to break into rectangular cubes—a true rarity even among rare salts.
Halite (derived from the ancient Greek “halos” meaning salt) refers to the mineral containing 99.8% sodium chloride. Although halite salt occurs in salt deposits worldwide, the largest and purest deposits are also found in the Salt Range in the northern Pakistani province of Punjab. Here, the salt is mined under optimal conditions, ensuring its exceptional quality.
Perfect for brine drinking cures and brine baths, as a fine seasoning in gourmet cuisine, or as an eye-catching decorative element, Cubic Halite salt adds a touch of luxury and exclusivity to your home.
Persian Blue Salt (Semnan, Iran)
Persian Blue salt, also known as “Persian Gold,” is an extraordinary natural salt from the Semnan region in Iran. It features a fascinating color palette that ranges from pure white to violet and sapphire blue hues. This unique coloration results from a specific displacement of vacancies in the crystal lattice caused by the mineral sylvin. Sylvin, a potassium chloride, only deposits in halites.
As one of the rarer salts, Persian Blue salt is often priced higher than, for example, Himalayan crystal salt. The high potassium content also leads to an initially very intense flavor, which, however, lasts only briefly. After this first salty impression, a pleasant mild spiciness remains, making this natural Persian salt particularly versatile. It is excellent for finishing dishes and enriches numerous recipes with its special note.
Hawaiian ‘Black Lava’ Salt, ‘Alea Red Gold’ and ‘Bamboo Jade’ (Hawaii, USA)
Hawaiian salt is a highly traditional sea salt deeply rooted in culture, with its three variations impressively reflecting the colors of the Hawaiian landscape: deep black symbolizing the volcanoes, bright red representing the sacred Alea earth, and rich green reflecting the lush vegetation of the islands. All our Hawaiian salts are made from classic white sea salt, which represents the water, and harvested off the coast of Molokai Island.
Because substances that are not food are used in their production, the varieties ‘Black Lava’, ‘Alea Red Gold’ and ‘Bamboo Jade’, popular among chefs as gourmet salts, are classified as “decorative salts,” each carrying unique aroma notes.
The ‘Black Lava’ salt contains activated charcoal, which not only accounts for its characteristic black color but can also offer health benefits. Its intense salty flavor with a slightly nutty note makes Hawaiian Black Lava salt a perfect complement to meat and fish dishes as well as cold platters. Furthermore, it serves excellently as a decorative element alongside pepper berries, adding visual accents to any table.
Hawaiian ‘Alea Red Gold’, on the other hand, contains volcanic clay, which gives it its characteristic deep red color through iron oxide. In taste, ‘Alea Red Gold’ is intensely salty but also slightly sweet, making it excellent for pork, marinades, and sauces.
Naturally colored green by extracts from bamboo leaves, Hawaiian ‘Bamboo Jade’ salt impresses with its pronounced mildness, making it excellent for Asian cuisine and all poultry and rice dishes.
Due to their relatively high residual moisture, our Hawaiian salts should preferably not be used in a mill but crushed in a mortar as needed.
Indian Black Salt ‘Kala Namak’ (Pakistan)
‘Kala Namak’ is an exceptional rock salt from Pakistan produced by cooking rock salt with the succulent plant Salsola Stocksii at over 750 degrees. The resulting sulfur compounds give it its distinctive aroma reminiscent of boiled eggs. Typical for ‘Kala Namak’ is its dark purple to black coloration, resulting from both the cooking process and the iron oxide contained in the original salt.
Its unique color and intense aroma make ‘Kala Namak’ an indispensable component of Indian and Ayurvedic cuisine. It is often used in the preparation of chutneys, masalas, and rajitas and is ideal for enhancing vegetarian and vegan dishes with a distinctive egg-like flavor. Moreover, this Pakistani black salt harmonizes excellently with exotic fruits and fish, making it an extremely versatile seasoning for various culinary creations.
Pyramid Salt ‘Indian Fleur de Sel’ (Pakistan)
Pyramid salt , also known as ‘Indian Fleur de Sel’, is a natural sea salt from Pakistan obtained through a careful traditional process. On hot and windless days, thin salt flakes form on the surface of the seawater in the salt pans. These delicate flakes are then hand-scooped with a wooden ladle.
The salt is then dried under glass panels, which creates its characteristic crispy and stepped salt pyramids. These special crystals make Pyramid Salt an ideal finishing salt at the table, captivating not only with its flavor but also with its decorative appearance.
It pairs particularly well with steak or serves as a decorative element on platters, delighting both the palate and the eye.
Inca Sun Salt (Peru)
Our natural Inca Sun salt comes from the impressive region around the Inca capital of Cusco and the UNESCO World Heritage site Machu Picchu in the Urubamba Valley, Peru. Here, rock salt is triggered by a natural spring, with the resulting saltwater flowing into terraced basins. Through natural evaporation, precious salt crystals form, just as they did during the time of the Incas. The harvesting and processing are done using traditional methods, exclusively by hand and with simple mechanical tools.
Inca Sun salt is characterized by its light pink coloration and delicate, pure flavor. It is often compared to Fleur de Sel but differs in that it is not derived from seawater—thus being completely free from pollutants like microplastics. It is a very unusual rock salt that combines history and nature into a unique culinary experience.
Truffle Salt (Germany)
Truffle salt, originating from Germany, is an exclusive seasoning made from natural boiling salt that impresses with its intense and authentic truffle flavor. This exquisite, hand-crafted salt contains 8.7% dried truffles, making it particularly aromatic. Indeed, 100 grams of fresh truffle are packed into these nearly 9 grams of dried truffle; the truffle aroma in the salt is thus exceptionally concentrated and powerful.
Our German truffle salt is excellent for making truffle butter or as that special touch with seafood, pasta, or fries, adding a luxurious note to any dish. Moreover, it is free from preservatives, emphasizing the purity and quality of this unique spice.
African Pearl Salt (Namibia)
African pearl salt is a natural sea salt uniquely created by the special climatic conditions along the coast of Namibia. Here, Antarctic deep-sea water meets powerful southwest winds and intense sunlight. Through continuous wave movements, African pearl salt does not dry into pyramids but forms small to larger spheres, giving it its name.
African pearl salt has low residual moisture and is particularly crispy—perfect for the salt mill. It typically appears very natural white but can sometimes exhibit a slight cream color. Flavor-wise, it is intense, making it not only excellent for seasoning but also highly decorative, enhancing the visual appeal of any dish.
Dead Sea Salt (Jordan)
The natural Dead Sea salt from Jordan is characterized by its intensity and low residual moisture, making it ideal for use in mills as well. After harvesting, the salt is carefully hand-cleaned to ensure its high purity.
The “white crystals of the Orient” from the Dead Sea are not only highly appreciated in the kitchen but also frequently used in wellness products and bath salts, where they are known for their beneficial and health-promoting properties.
Bolivian Pink Salt (Bolivia)
Buried beneath a volcanic layer in the high plains of the Andes mountain range in western Bolivia, Bolivian pink salt is traditionally hand-mined and transported to the lowlands via ancient Inca caravan routes. Its characteristic and natural pink hue comes from oxidized iron, while its mild and fine flavor makes it a versatile seasoning in the kitchen.
Salt Flakes ‘Salzzart Premium’ (Hallein, Austria)
This exclusive and natural boiling salt is produced in the show saltworks of the Salzburg Salt Worlds by Salinen Austria AG. The pure mountain spring water is used to dissolve the salt from the Alps, which is then gently heated in brine pans. Tiny crystals form on the surface of the pans, combining into pyramid-shaped flakes. These delicate and crispy flakes are carefully skimmed to preserve their quality.
‘Salzzart Premium’ offers a unique taste experience and is excellent as a finishing salt. Often referred to as the “Fleur de Sel from the primordial sea,” it adds a special touch to every dish and is a highlight in the kitchen and at the table.
