Inka Pyramid Salt | 0,5-1,5mm

What is it about / Product description

This Inca pyramid salt comes from traditional saltworks in Bolivia and is offered in a fine grain size of 0.5–1.5 mm. The delicate white flakes resemble small pyramids and dissolve quickly. This gives your dishes an elegant, even salty note.

At Biova, this flake salt is offered as high-quality bulk goods and carefully selected. Its fine, flaky structure makes it particularly easy to dose and pleasant in mouthfeel. Gentle processing largely preserves the natural character of the rock salt from the Andes.

In creative cuisine, Inca pyramid salt is ideal for seasoning directly at the table, as a finishing salt or for subtly refining marinades and dressings. Whether fish, meat, vegetables or salads – the fine flake salt sets targeted accents. This way you can use Inca pyramid salt in many ways for everyday and special dishes.

Origin

The salt comes from Bolivia, where salt has been extracted in high-altitude Andean regions for centuries. The dry climate and intense sunlight promote slow crystal formation. Biova sources the Inca pyramid salt from selected producers with constant quality control.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The Inca pyramid salt is obtained from brine springs rich in salt, which are channeled into shallow basins. Under the influence of the sun, the salt crystallizes into fine, pyramid-shaped flakes. It is then harvested by hand, gently dried and filled as bulk goods without additives.

Special features

Characteristic are the fine, flaky crystals that dissolve quickly on the tongue. Compared to conventional table salt, the salt effect is milder and more nuanced. The white color and decorative shape also make the flake salt a visual highlight.

Differences in origin and processing

In contrast to industrially refined salt, this flake salt is processed traditionally and largely without machinery. Its origin in Bolivian Andean regions gives it a different crystal structure than sea salts from coastal areas. Biova places great value on gentle drying and careful sieving to a grain size of 0.5–1.5 mm.

Taste & Smell

Inca pyramid salt has a clear, pure salty taste without intrusive off-flavors. The fine flakes ensure an even distribution on the tongue, which is perceived as pleasantly mild. In terms of smell, the salt is neutral and does not affect the natural aroma of the food.

Possible uses

• As a finishing salt to round off fish, meat and vegetable dishes directly before serving
• To refine salads, bowls, dressings and dips with a finely dosed salty note
