We love adding delicious new salts to our Epicurean Organics line! Here’s the latest exciting addition:
Cyprus Flake Salt is not just salt, it’s history! For centuries, these delicately flaky, pyramid-shaped crystals have been harvested from lakes and salt rocks on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Long ago, this wonderful salt was a major export for Cyprus; the island’s ÛÏsaltyÛ history inspired the traditional Cypriot saying ÛÏwe ate bread and salt togetherÛ, meaning that two people share a strong bond because they have gone through difficult times together.
Today, these salt flakes are still made in the traditional manner, through the evaporation of sea salt. Like all sea salts, Cyprus Flake Salt naturally contains beneficial trace minerals. Unlike other sea salts, it has a uniquely beautiful pyramid shape which lends not only flavor, but also beauty to any food.
The distinctive shape and texture of this gorgeous salt can transform your culinary creations from merely tasty to fabulously gourmet. Delectably versatile, Cyprus Flake Salt can be used for baking, brining, finishing, and more. Its delicate crunch makes it a tasty garnish for fish and vegetable dishes. Imagine these lovely crystals around the rim of a beverage glass or atop a gourmet salted caramel!
This is one occasion when being ÛÏflakyÛ is a wonderful thing! 🙂 –Jessie
