Ausseer Bergkern Salt Grey-Pink, Fine

• Original & unrefined: Naturally trapped in the depths of the Austrian Alps for over 250 million years – natural rock salt of the highest quality.
• Rich in minerals and full of character: The grey-pink colouring testifies to the high mineral content and not only adds flavour to dishes but also a touch of Alpine originality.
• Versatile: Ideal for salting pasta water, for seasoning at the table, or for the salt mill – coarse-grained, powerful, and pure.

MANUFACTURE
Ausseer Bergkern salt is still mined and milled by hand today, just as it was in the Bronze Age. The salt is extracted from the mountain using drill bits and extensive manual labor. These salt lumps are pre-sorted by hand and then crushed, milled, sorted, and stored underground. The deposits of this natural salt are among the highest quality in the world, distinguished by their exceptional purity. Everything that is mechanically sorted remains in the mountain. We therefore guarantee maximum sustainability. Nowhere else in the world is mining as complex, as the salt deposits elsewhere occur in homogeneous salt domes. This means they are barely mixed with other rock and are therefore low in minerals. They are mined and processed using large-scale equipment and large-scale blasting.

USAGE
The fine Ausseer Bergkernsalz is versatile and impresses with its naturally intense flavor. It can be used universally, even seasoning your dishes directly at the table.

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.
