Fine Spanish pink rock salt, reduced sodium

Product description

Discover Spanish rock salt from the Catalan hinterland, finely milled to around 0.3–0.5 mm with a delicate pink hue. This natural table salt from Biova has a mild, well-balanced saltiness that blends unobtrusively into everyday cooking.

Thanks to its naturally higher potassium content, the sodium chloride level is below 75%, making this reduced-sodium rock salt an interesting alternative to conventional table salt. Accompanying minerals such as iron give it its soft rosé colour and a rounded flavour profile – with no added anti-caking agents.

In the kitchen, Spanish rock salt can be used just like any other table salt – for cooking, seasoning and finishing at the table. The fine grain size allows precise dosing, so you can reduce sodium intake in your daily Biova kitchen without losing a pleasant salty note.

Origin

The salt comes from underground rock salt deposits in the Catalan hinterland of Spain, remnants of an ancient primordial sea. The dry Mediterranean climate and stable geology of the region favour particularly pure rock salt layers, which Biova sources directly.

Cultivation / production / harvest

Spanish rock salt is extracted by traditional mining and gently loosened from the salt deposit. It is then mechanically cleaned and milled to a fine grain of around 0.3–0.5 mm – ideal as loose bulk salt for shakers and everyday use, completely free from chemical additives.

Special features

A key characteristic is its naturally high potassium content, which results in a reduced sodium chloride content of under 75%. Minerals such as iron lend this pink rock salt its subtle colour and mild, rounded aroma; no lysine hydrochloride or anti-caking agents are added.

Differences in origin and processing

Compared with many Central European rock salts, this Catalan variety has a different mineral profile with a higher potassium share. Its formation in an ancient sea and its natural processing set it clearly apart from industrially refined table salt.

Taste & aroma

On the palate, the salt is pleasantly salty with a mild, rounded note that integrates discreetly into a wide range of dishes. The gentle pink colour indicates the presence of minerals, while the aroma remains neutral, allowing versatile use in the Biova kitchen.

Possible uses

• Everyday seasoning of soups, stews, sauces and vegetable dishes in home and professional kitchens
