TUESDAY TAKEAWAY #2 - Cornish Sea Salt (7.9 oz Pouch)
Cornish Sea Salt is known for its purity. The salt is harvested from the turquoise waters off Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula, which have received Grade A accreditation for its cleanliness.
The Cornish Sea Salt has a classic, salty taste. Because of its firm texture and sturdy crunch, expect to experience a burst of flavor. The salt does not require a grinder, but can be sprinkled on food as is, or crumbled lightly with your fingers.
The salt is produced using a steam evaporation process, and then hand-harvested from the evaporation pans. Because this salt is unrefined, it retains 60+ minerals, which are healthy and flavorful. The Cornish Sea Salt company boasts "more taste for less salt" because of this salt's ability to pack in the flavor into these delightfully crunchy, full-flavored crystals!
Chef Didi Davis said of Cornish Sea Salt, "I have been eating it right out of the bucket, it is so delicious! I love its clean, pure sweetness, and particularly its lack of harshness. The packaging is quite sharp and clean with a very modern feel, which I love."

I have two salt bowls on my table, one with himalayan pink salt and the other with hawaiian salt. I would love to put some cornish sea salt in those bowls!

Just got a new salt pig for the counter -- and it's hungry! Would love to win some Cornish salt.

I put at least three or four different salts in pinch bowls out on the table.
Coarse "finishing" salts, fine seasoning salts and sometimes smoked salts. (The latter for giving a bit of smoky flavor to vegetarian foods that would traditionally be flavored with a smoked ham hock or similar meat.)
At present there are three, Fleur de Sel de Guerande, Cyprus Black Sea Salt flakes and the Peruvian Pink Salt from the Andes.
My garden is producing a surfeit of tomatoes so today I'm serving a Tuscan bread salad which these salts will enhance.

I have a beautiful little crystal salt cellar on my table, full of Hawaiian Red Alaea Sea Salt!

I have little corked bottles of himalayan pink salt all around my kitchen :) I'd love to mix it up with some other salts!

I have a shaker with you average rock salt grinder for the table, but in my kitchen I have several salts and a couple of blends for cooking and finishing.
