Rivsalt Salt Guide.
Rivsalt is a Swedish design brand for gourmets, inspiring new recipes and flavor combinations. Salt crystals are the protagonists, bringing with them the designs, colors and aromas of the pure rock from which they come, with unique mineral characteristics and properties. The world in its diversity offers many types of salt from different corners of the earth. That's why you can complement your Rivsalt experience with salt gems from 3 continents: Asia, Europe and America.
HIMALAYAN ROCK SALT
Himalayan rock salt comes from northern Pakistan, from an area called the "Salt Range", near the Himalayan Mountains. It is a natural rock salt that was formed by the evaporation of prehistoric seas approximately 250 million years ago.
Natural salt rocks come in a variety of colors, from pure white to beautiful light pink to dramatic deep red, all depending on the iron oxide content.
Taste: aromatic with a long-lasting spicy touch on a fine mineral body.
Ideal for: seasoning meat and fish as well as vegetables.
BLUE ROCK SALT
Blue rock salt , mined in salt mines in the Middle East, is one of the rarest and most exclusive salts in the world. The interesting blue color is created when the crystal structure of the salt is formed, when strong pressure is applied to the salt deposits. The individual crystals refract light in an unusual way, creating an optical illusion that makes the salt appear more or less shimmering blue.
Taste: initially quite strong, later rather delicate with a velvety sweet touch.
Ideal for: seafood, salads, French cuisine and truffles.
ALPINE ROCK SALT
Alpine salt, mined deep in the Austrian Alps, has one of the highest mineral contents. Its reddish-brown color is due to its high content of minerals, including iron.
Taste: intense, pure salt taste.
Ideal for: dark meat and game.
ROCK SALT KALA NAMAK
Kala Namak salt from India is truly a secret ingredient - especially in vegan cuisine - because its high sulfur content gives it an eggy, spicy and slightly smoky flavor. Its unusual taste makes it great in many vegan tofu dishes or in chickpea omelets and fruit salads.
Taste: slightly smoky, spicy.
Perfect for: vegan dishes, salty fried snacks, movie night popcorn.
HALITE SALT STONES
Halite salt is a white rock salt found deep in the mountains of Pakistan. With its crystal clear appearance, Halite salt is one of the purest salts available and contains up to 99.9% sodium chloride. Due to its high natural mineral content, this salt can be used as a basic ingredient in everyday cooking.
Taste: intense taste of natural salt, a little goes a long way!
Ideal for: everyday meals.
BOLIVIAN PINK ROCK SALT
Mined in the Bolivian Andes, this beautiful pink salt contains up to eight times more iron and up to five times more potassium and calcium than sea salt. It is slightly lower in sodium, making it ideal for those watching their sodium intake. As with all natural rock salts, a little goes a long way!
Taste: mild and sweet.
Ideal for: everyday cooking.
