NEW ANGLES ON FLAVOURED SALTS
Gone is the celery salt, onion salt and garlic salt of yesteryear, and moving towards front stage are flavoured sea salts crystals.
The Anglesey Sea Salt Company, exhibiting this year at IFE09, has been quietly promoting its Halen Mon salt flakes to the foodservice business as well as to consumers. They are stearing clear of salt in the conventional pourable format because they claim the anti-caking agent used isn’t seen as 100% safe in every country. Instead they rely on the natural free flowing shape of salt crystals to keep the product usable.
Their latest product is very large and thin crystals of salt, which would form the perfect garnish for up-scale restaurant dishes. It might be a case of don’t try this at home with this one.
David Lea-Wilson, a director of the company said “Sea salt is a little lower in sodium than normal table salt because it contains other natural minerals, but more importantly, if you sprinkle crystalised salt onto food at the table you need to use less because the granules just hit the tongue and send salt messages to the brain”.
