Alessi Sea Salt comes from the cool, blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea using the oldest method of obtaining salt: evaporation. Sea water is transferred through a series of evaporation ponds which successfully eliminate other elements. The hot, dry climate and gentle breezes hasten the evaporation process leaving behind only pure white crystals and other valuable trace minerals not found in regular salt. The fine crystals of Alessi Sea Salt will add a new dimension to your cooking, adding both taste and texture. Savvy gourmets use crunchy sea salt crystals in their salt grinders. Made naturally from only the sea and the sun... Alessi Sea Salt.
