My ten favorite salts.
Harvested from the Blackwater Estuary in England, Maldon Sea Salt is celebrated for its delicate, pyramid-shaped flakes and clean, fresh taste. It's a favorite among chefs for finishing dishes, adding a subtle crunch and enhancing flavors.
My kids grew up with this salt on the table, and ask for it by name.
Food snobs may look at this and roll their eyes, but it’s available everywhere and a reliable stable. Preferred by many culinary professionals, Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt features large, light flakes that are easy to pinch and dissolve quickly, making it ideal for seasoning and brining.
One of my favorite uses of this is for curing a whole side of salmon. You’ll need a scale, but it’s easy once you do: weigh the salmon and divide the weight by two. That number is the amount of salt, and the amount of sugar you need. Mix it together, add dill and caper berries. Apply to both sides of the salmon and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. In 36 hours you’ll have the best gravlax you ever tried.
Known as the "caviar of salts," this French sea salt is hand-harvested from the Guérande marshes. Its moist, delicate crystals and rich mineral content make it perfect for finishing gourmet dishes. You can smell the sea.
Mined from ancient sea salt deposits in the Himalayas, this salt is rich in trace minerals, giving it a distinctive pink hue. It's versatile for cooking, seasoning, and even as a finishing salt.
Pro tip: if you plate your food on darker dish, especially a black one like you see in a trendy Asian restaurant, the color pops and elevates your dish.
Harvested from the coastal regions of France, Celtic Sea Salt retains its natural moisture and mineral content. Its light grey color and briny flavor make it excellent for enhancing the taste of various dishes.
Infused with activated charcoal, this striking black salt adds a dramatic finish and a subtle earthy flavor to dishes. It's commonly used as a finishing salt for seafood and meats.
Description: Maldon's classic sea salt flakes are gently smoked over oak, imparting a rich, smoky flavor. Ideal for adding depth to meats, vegetables, and even cocktails.
This is an ideal dessert salt - think things like peanut butter cookies, flourless chocolate torte, or (my favorite) a salted caramel toffee cake.
For the foodie, this is a great present. The display rack adds a great touch.
A luxurious blend of sea salt and finely ground truffles, this salt adds an earthy, umami-rich flavor to dishes. It's perfect for finishing pasta, popcorn, and eggs.
