Discover the world of gourmet salts and elevate your dishes to new heights. From classic table salt to Pink Himalayan salt, these choices will tickle your tastebuds.

From Top to Bottom:

TABLE SALT
While table salt is the most common type of salt used in culinary applications, it can also be used for household purposes, such as cleaning or removing stains. Try kicking it up a notch by infusing it with various herbs, spices or citrus zest. 

PINK HIMALAYAN SALT
Pink Himalayan salt is renowned for its unique flavor profile and beautiful pink color. It works well in both savory and sweet dishes, and adds a subtle mineral taste to dishes. Along with being a popular choice for cooking, its mineral-rich composition makes it a popular choice for bath salts. 

KOSHER SALT
Kosher salt, known for its large crystal size and pure taste, is very versatile. Use kosher salt to season meat, poultry or fish before cooking. Its coarse texture allows for better absorption and distribution of flavor. Kosher salt can also be used to rim glasses and is the salt to add a finishing touch to meals before service.

MALDON SEA SALT FLAKES
Maldon sea salt flakes have larger crystals compared to table salts, so they don’t dissolve as quickly when used during the cooking process. It’s best to use the as a finishing salt to full appreciate their unique qualities. We love sprinkling sea salt flakes over caramel or chocolate-based desserts.
