From the scenic Algarve province of Portugal comes award-winning salts that will transform any dish with their clean, elegant flavor. These kosher, artisan salts come from the salt basins near Tavira, in the Ria Formasa Natural Reserve, an area that is geographically ideal for natural salt harvesting. Salt harvesting has a history in this region which goes back to the time of the Roman Empire. Even today, this salt is still hand-harvested and sun dried by the marenotos (salt gatherers) in the traditional manner, using gravity and gates to funnel seawater into the salt pans for collecting. Their commitment to excellence was recognized in 2006, when their salt received the Superior Taste Award from the International Taste & Quality Institute. The coarse is great in a grinder and for cooking, and the fine is ideal for baking and for use in a shaker. The Flor de Sal is a delicate finishing salt, similar to Flower of the Ocean®.
