Pink Salt from Maras – Coarse Grain 250g

This coarse pink Maras salt from Peru in a 250 g bag is a small size for discovering the crystals and refilling a compatible salt grinder. Choose the 600 g bag for a larger quantity.

It melts slowly, forms a crust on meats, and releases salt gradually. Use on grilled meats, whole fish, and roasted vegetables.

The Maras salt flats

At an altitude of 3,300 meters, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, a subterranean saltwater spring feeds approximately 3,000 ponds carved into the mountainside. The water evaporates in the sun, the salt deposits, and the families of Maras harvest it with shovels as they have done since pre-Inca times. Each pond belongs to a family from the village.

This is not sea salt: it comes from a fossil aquifer, which gives it its pinkish color and a less sharp taste.

• Origin: Maras salt flats, Cuzco, Peru.
• Harvest: Manual, by solar evaporation.
• Composition: Unrefined salt, without additives or anti-caking agents.

Do you often barbecue? The 600 g format is more cost-effective.
