LA BELLE EXCUSE offers this natural sea salt created through the evaporation of seawater by the warm rays of the sun and soft winds from the Mediterranean. In ancient Greece, the sea salt was used to preserve fish, meats, vegetables, olives and cheeses as well. Perfect for a gravlax, duck legs or rabbit confit, to boil pasta, vegetables and seafood. This condiment will enhance any recipe, either sautéed, grilled or simmered. Use it whole or crushed in a mortar. May be used in a salt mill although it must be previously dried. (Oven at 100 F° overnight on a baking sheet). Gluten-free. 100% natural without anticaking agent. The size of the sea salt crystals may vary and contain some traces of minerals.
