Greek pyramid salt | flakes | 1-12 mm

What it is / Product description

Biova's Mediterranean pyramid salt is a fine flake salt made from pure sea salt brine with a characteristic pyramid shape. The delicate white salt flakes from Cyprus are light and crunchy and dissolve quickly. They are ideal for subtly enhancing dishes visually and in terms of flavour.

Gentle crystallisation creates thin, hollow pyramid flakes with a mildly salty aroma and a pleasant mouthfeel. The flaky grain size of around 1–12 mm can be easily crumbled between the fingers, making the salt a typical finger salt. Biova relies on carefully selected raw materials and consistently high quality in bulk goods for professional users.

In the kitchen, Mediterranean pyramid salt proves particularly versatile – from use as table salt to a delicate finishing salt for fine dishes. Sprinkle the salt flakes over meat, fish, vegetables or salads just before serving to emphasise texture and flavour. The sea salt flakes are also a valued gourmet salt in fine dining and for creative food presentations.

Origin

The flake salt comes from the Mediterranean island of Cyprus with its sunny, Mediterranean climate and clean seawater. The combination of sea, wind and traditional know-how forms the basis for high-quality flake salts. Biova makes use of these natural conditions to ensure consistently high product quality.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

For this flake salt, sea brine is taken from a particularly pure coastal section and filtered several times. In shallow, heated pans, the brine crystallises slowly until fine pyramid flakes form on the surface. These are carefully skimmed off by hand and gently dried to preserve their delicate structure.

Special features

Characteristic are the light, pyramid-shaped crystals, which clearly differ from compactly crystallised sea salt. The flaky, fine grain ensures an even distribution of salt and a pleasant crunch when eaten. As white flake salts in bulk goods, this product is particularly interesting for large-scale consumers and the catering trade.

Differences in origin and processing

In contrast to classic sea salt from salt pans, Mediterranean pyramid salt is deliberately crystallised in heated pans. This creates the typical hollow pyramid structures instead of broken crystals. The predominantly manual handling reduces mechanical stress and preserves the decorative flake shape.

Taste & aroma

From a sensory point of view, the flake salt is mildly salty with a clear, clean note. The fine crystals dissolve quickly without any off-flavours or metallic nuances. A neutral smell makes the sea salt highly versatile for combining with meat, fish, vegetables and delicate starters.

Possible applications

• As a finger salt for seasoning grilled meat, fish and vegetables directly at the table
• For refining salads, carpaccio, bruschetta and antipasti shortly before serving
