Cornish Sea Salt and
Hawaiian True-Kona Deep Water Sea Salt
Cornish Sea Salt is a brand new salt that has only been available for purchase since the beginning of 2008! Salt Traders is proud to be the first company to bring this one-of-a-kind salt from its home in Cornwall, England to the United States!
Like the Hawaiian True-Kona Deep Water Sea Salt, the Cornish Sea Salt is known for its purity. The salt is harvested from the turquoise water off Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula, which has received Grade A accreditation for its cleanliness.
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 between 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 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."
Hawaiian True-Kona Deep Water Sea Salt is harvested from water 2,000 feet below the ocean's surface. The water is carried to enclosed salt houses, and spread out to dry in the sun. It is never exposed to the environment or its pollutants, making it exceptionally pure and clean.
In terms of flavor, this salt is much softer than other sea salts and not as briny, yet still rich, strong and flavorful. Due to the high mineral content, the flavors are more complex and deep. Because this salt has flake-like qualities, as the salt dissolves slowly in your mouth, you will experience the flavor bloom gradually on your tongue. Unlike other flakier pyramid salts such as the Cyprus or Australian Murray River, the Kona still retains a subtle crunch.
However, even more exciting than the pure, complex flavor of this flake-like salt is the exceptionally low sodium content. This salt's sodium percentage is only 78.2%, in contrast to most sea salts and Mortan's table salt which range from 98-99%! Many people must watch their sodium intake because of health reasons and therefore choose to eliminate salt from their diet. For salt enthusiasts around the globe, the Hawaiian True-Kona Deep Water Sea Salt provides the perfect solution.
