Ausseer Bergkern Salt grey-pink, coarse

SHORT DESCRIPTION

The origin of our rock salt takes us to Altaussee in the Austrian Salzkammergut. Only in this mine can we find rock salt that is so pure that it is suitable for "dry mining" by hand. It was formed over 350 million years ago when the shallow sea dried up and the salt remained as a thick layer and was covered by sediment. Later, the Alps began to fold and the salt was enclosed, enriched with minerals and preserved. This explains why the oldest tunnel entrances are high up in the salt-bearing mountains.

USE

The coarse Ausseer mountain salt is versatile and impresses with its natural, intense taste. It can be used universally for salting and is ideal for the mill. You can also use it to season your food directly at the table. Thanks to its beautiful appearance, it can also be used decoratively when serving food.

GOOD TO KNOW

This natural salt does NOT contain any additives such as iodine or flow agents. As it is stored in the mountain (until it is bottled or mixed with herbs and spices), the salt remains free-flowing - even without additives, as it remains in the climate where it has been for millions of years. The salt impresses with its unique gray-pink coloring due to the valuable trace elements it still contains, such as iron oxide, magnesium and calcium.

TASTE

The taste is also unique: Due to the high proportion of accompanying minerals such as iron, the taste is mild but still full-bodied and intense. This makes using rock salt a real treat.
