German rock salt granules 1.7–3.2 mm

Product description

Discover German rock salt from deep-lying Zechstein deposits in central Germany, carefully processed into coarse granules of 1.7–3.2 mm. This natural, white table salt is suitable for home kitchens, foodservice and further food processing.

At Biova, the rock salt is mined underground, gently milled and sieved to size without chemical refining or additives. The result is a pure, natural rock salt with consistent quality, good flow properties and reliable dosing.

In use, German rock salt granules perform as an all-purpose kitchen salt for cooking, seasoning and finishing. It is ideal for filling salt and spice grinders and as a base for your own spice blends, rubs and marinades.

Origin

This rock salt is sourced entirely in Germany from underground Zechstein formations in central Germany. These deposits, formed over millions of years, provide a stable, mineral-rich resource with consistent quality.

Production

As a classic rock salt, this product is extracted by mining from solid salt layers, where it is cut or broken out of the rock. It is then cleaned at Biova, gently ground, granulated to the coarse 1.7–3.2 mm size and precisely sieved.

Characteristics

Key features are its natural quality without additives and without anti-caking agents. The coarse, granulated structure is ideal for grinders, applications where the salt should dissolve slowly, and for Biova bulk concepts in professional processing.

Origin & processing compared

Unlike sea salt or evaporated salt, this rock salt comes from a fossil sea that existed around 200 million years ago. Its dry storage deep within the rock protects it from modern environmental influences, while Biova’s gentle processing avoids any further refining.

Taste & aroma

German rock salt offers a clear, pure salt profile without dominant off-notes. It tastes neutral, enhances the natural flavours of vegetables, meat, fish and sauces, and is virtually odourless, as is typical of high-quality white rock salt.

Suggested uses

• Refilling salt and spice grinders in home kitchens, professional kitchens and gastronomy
