SALT: AN ESSENTIAN INGREDIENT IN GOURMET COOKING
Salt is a chemical compound consisting mainly of sodium chloride (NaCl). In addition to being an important nutrient, it is worth noting that it is one of the oldest and most widely used condiments throughout history. It can be sourced both terrestrially, by extracting it from rock salt mines, and marinely, by obtaining it through the evaporation of seawater.
Maldon salt: the favourite of gourmets
A true icon among gourmet salts. It is synonymous with excellence. Its crystals are pyramid-shaped and have a light, crunchy texture. It has a delicate flavour that enhances both savoury and sweet dishes. From a perfectly cooked steak to chocolate desserts. It is produced using traditional methods, through controlled evaporation, which guarantees unique quality. This makes it an infallible choice for those seeking perfection.
Features
- Flavour. Enhances the natural flavours of food, balancing sweetness and reducing the perception of acidity or bitterness.
- Preservative properties. Helps prevent bacteria and other microorganisms from growing or multiplying in food.
- Mineral content. In addition to sodium, some salts contain other minerals such as potassium, magnesium and calcium. These are nutrients that our body needs to function properly.
