Crystal salt | granulate | 2-5 mm | light pink

What is it about / Product description

This crystal salt from the Pakistani Salt Range is a natural rock salt with a delicate light pink appearance. The coarse grain size of 2–5 mm makes it ideal as table salt for mills and as a decorative gourmet salt in the kitchen.

Thanks to its origin in fossil salt deposits, you receive an untreated natural rock salt processed without additives and with a uniform granular structure. Biova has the salt processed exclusively mechanically, washed and gently dried so that the natural crystal structure and the typical pink coloration are preserved.

In the kitchen, the crystal salt is versatile for seasoning at the table, for brines, saline solutions or decorative applications. The coarse granules allow well-controlled dosing and, as bulk goods from Biova, are also of interest for gastronomy, manufactories and commercial users.

Origin

The rock salt comes from the Salt Range in the province of Punjab in Pakistan, around 200 kilometers southwest of the Himalayas. The deposits there are known for consistently high purity and the stable, delicate pink hue of the crystal salt.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The salt is extracted in open-cast and underground mining from massive rock salt veins. After extraction, it is crushed, sorted by grain size and sieved as granules of around 2–5 mm, then washed and gently dried for Biova.

Special features

Characteristic is the natural pink to light pink coloration caused by iron oxide, which gives the salt its decorative appearance. As a coarsely granulated rock salt, it is particularly suitable for mills, as bulk goods for further processing and as a high-quality decorative salt in the food sector.

Differences in origin and processing

In contrast to sea salt or evaporated salt, this crystal salt is not obtained from water, but broken directly from fossil deposits. The predominantly mechanical processing without chemical refining preserves the original structure and distinguishes it from refined table salt.

Taste & smell

Sensorially, it shows a mild, clear salty taste without intrusive off-flavors. On the palate, the crystal salt is less sharp than some highly refined table salts and is neutral in smell, which supports the natural flavor of the ingredients.

Biova applications & practice

Due to its coarse grain size, the salt is ideal for spice mills, salt crusts and the production of brine. Biova bulk goods also enable efficient use in gastronomy, delicatessen production and manufactories.
