Black Hawaiian Sea Salt, Fine / 1 Ounce

Black Hawaiian sea salt, also known as black lava salt, is harvested from the coastal waters of the Hawaiian islands. Ancient solar evaporation techniques preserve the salt’s mineral content and give it a crunchy bite, while a coating of activated charcoal obtained from coconut shells provides its distinctive black color and earthy flavor. Prized by culinary enthusiasts the world over, black Hawaiian sea salt complements roasted and grilled foods, provides texture and contrast as a finishing salt for salads and fresh fruit, and is right at home on the rim of a cocktail glass.

As the name implies, Black Hawaiian sea salt comes from the coastal waters of Hawaii. It is harvested from evaporation pools, in some cases by hand. It significantly differs from table salt in processing as well as in composition. The latter is refined and typically contains anti-caking agents like calcium phosphate, while the mineral content in sea salt is preserved. This gives the salt a much more robust, earthy flavor.
