Fine sea salt from the western coast of Sicily. Sea salt is evaporated from the sea. Our sea salt is raked from the top layer of crystals that form as a result of the evaporation process. The top layer is considered the very best (called fleur de sel in France). It is less harsh, more subtle and additive free.
Good sea salt is considered a step above Kosher salt in quality, though it is a little more expensive. (Any recipe that calls for Kosher salt can easily substitute sea salt...just use a little less since sea salt generally is a bit saltier than Kosher salt. On the other hand, sea salt is less salty than table salt.)
We sell two types of sea salt: coarse (large crystals) and fine (a little thicker than table salt). Fine sea salt can be used in any recipe calling for salt, but it is particularly good sprinkled over salad greens, fresh vegetables, pasta salad and focaccia.
