Originally taking its name from the native Hawaiian volcanic clay it which it was sourced, Alaea salt was traditionally used by natives to preserve their meat. These days, it’s a key ingredient in many Hawaiian dishes, such as Kalua Pig, Jerky, Salmon and Poke. It’s tasty, earthy tones and unique colour make for the perfect seasoning to barbequed meats and grilled seafood, and it boasts being one of the few salts that maintain the intensity of its flavour during the cooking process. Alaea salt is perfect if you want that slightly Hawaiian taste to your dish.
Alaea Salt is said to contain around 80 natural minerals, including those that are lost in the normal processing of table salts such as magnesium and potassium, as well as having properties rich in iron.
Available in both the fine grain (a delicious way to flavour your favourite table shaker), and the coarser grain (ideal for meat rubs and that final visual seasoning of your meal), the Alaea salt from The Salt Box is the perfect addition to any flavour enthusiast's kitchen.
