Fine Dark Pink crystal salt

Product description

Discover natural crystal salt from Pakistan with a fine, flaky grain size of 0.2–1.0 mm and its characteristic dark pink colour. This pink rock salt is a versatile table and cooking salt for professional kitchens, foodservice and further processing.

The consistent, fine grain allows precise dosing and dissolves quickly in liquids, doughs and spice blends. Biova supplies this dark pink rock salt in bulk, without any chemical additives or anti-caking agents, so the original character of the salt is preserved.

In everyday cooking, this crystal salt is easy to use for boiling, seasoning and finishing. It works well with vegetables, meat, fish, salads and delicatessen products and is ideal for spice manufacturers, caterers and food producers looking for a free-flowing, natural rock salt.

Origin

The crystal salt comes from the Salt Range in Pakistan’s Punjab province, a traditional region for high-quality rock salts. Deep deposits and a dry climate ensure consistent quality and the typical dark pink colour.

Cultivation / production / harvest

The pink rock salt is mined underground in the traditional way, where compact salt veins are mechanically extracted. After coarse crushing, the material is cleaned and milled to a fine 0.2–1.0 mm grain size before Biova packs it in bulk.

Key features

Its distinctive reddish dark pink colour is caused by naturally occurring iron oxide. This natural rock salt is free from chemical additives and anti-caking agents and offers a fine, flaky structure for a wide range of applications.

Origin and processing differences

Unlike sea salt obtained from evaporated seawater, this rock salt originates from prehistoric inland seas that became trapped in the rock. The homogeneous crystal structure of the Pakistani deposits allows precise grading by grain size and provides an easy-to-process edible salt for Biova partners.

Taste & aroma

This crystal salt has a mild, clean saltiness without intrusive off-notes and supports the natural flavour of foods. It is neutral in smell and therefore also suitable for delicatessen products, spice blends and sensitive small-batch applications.

• As an all-purpose cooking and table salt for seasoning and finishing hot and cold dishes.
