Crystal salt chunks 2-5 cm

Product description

Discover natural crystal salt from Pakistan in pink to reddish chunks with a grain size of around 2–5 cm. This coarse rock salt comes from the Salt Range in Punjab and is supplied by Biova in consistently high food grade quality.

Gentle, purely mechanical processing without anti-caking agents or additives keeps this rock salt completely unrefined. The coarse grain size makes it ideal as bulk salt for foodservice, artisan producers and anyone processing larger quantities of natural salt.

In the kitchen, pink crystal salt is highly versatile: grind the chunks fresh in a mill, use them in spice blends or prepare brine and pickling solutions. Biova rock salt gives you a flexible all-purpose seasoning for everyday cooking and creative recipes.

Origin

The crystal salt is mined in the Salt Range in Pakistan’s Punjab province, around 200 kilometres southwest of the Himalayas. The homogeneous, well-crystallised deposits there provide a consistently high-quality natural salt with a characteristic pink to red colour.

Production / processing / harvest

The rock salt is extracted by underground mining, where the salt seam is worked by room-and-pillar methods. The chunks are then mechanically crushed, graded to 2–5 cm and carefully cleaned before Biova packs them as bulk goods in units of approx. 1.05 kg.

Characteristics

Typical are the coarse chunks with a 2–5 cm grain size, ideal for salt and spice mills as well as large-scale applications. The natural pink to red colour caused by minerals such as iron oxide gives Biova rock salt a decorative appearance and underlines its natural character.

Origin and processing differences

Unlike sea salt from evaporation ponds, this is a classic rock salt from ancient seas that has crystallised over millions of years. The uniform deposits in Pakistan and the purely mechanical processing without refining set this natural salt apart from many industrial standard salts.

Taste & aroma

Sensory-wise, the pink rock salt offers a mild, clean saltiness without dominant bitter notes. It supports the natural flavour of dishes, is neutral in smell and is therefore suitable both for everyday cooking and for finely tuned spice blends.

Possible uses

• Freshly grinding the salt chunks in salt or spice mills for kitchen and table use
