Spanish rock salt | fine | 0.3-0.5 mm | NaCl < 75%

What is it about / Product description

This Spanish rock salt from the hinterland of Catalonia is offered by Biova as a natural table salt. It is finely ground to about 0.3–0.5 mm, slightly pink in color and, with its mild, harmonious salty taste, blends subtly into your everyday cooking. Thanks to its reduced sodium content, the salt is particularly suitable for a consciously selected diet.

The naturally elevated potassium content results in a NaCl content of less than 75% and makes this rock salt an interesting alternative to conventional table salt. Accompanying minerals such as iron are responsible for the rosé hue and a well-balanced flavor profile, all without added anti-caking agents. Biova relies on gentle processing of the bulk goods to ensure a consistently fine grain size and good flowability.

In the kitchen, Spanish rock salt can be used like any other table salt – for cooking, seasoning and adding extra salt at the table. Thanks to the fine grain size, you can dose your dishes precisely while at the same time reducing sodium intake without sacrificing a pleasant salty note. Whether for soups, sauces, vegetables or fresh salads: the pink rock salt from Biova integrates itself in many ways into your seasoning routine.

Origin

The salt comes from underground salt deposits in the Catalonian hinterland of Spain, remnants of an ancient primordial sea. The dry Mediterranean climate and the stable geology of the region favor particularly pure rock salt deposits. Biova sources the rock salt directly from these traditional mining areas.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The Spanish rock salt is obtained through conventional mining, gently extracted from the salt deposit and then mechanically cleaned. It is subsequently ground to the fine grain size of about 0.3–0.5 mm, ideal for shakers and everyday use. Chemical additives and anti-caking agents are deliberately avoided in order to preserve its natural character.

Special features

A characteristic feature is the natural richness in potassium, which leads to a reduced sodium chloride content of less than 75%. Mineral companions such as iron give the rock salt its slightly pink appearance and a mild, rounded aroma. Unlike many sodium-reduced salts, this product is free from added lysine hydrochloride.

Differences in origin and processing

Compared to typical rock salts from Central Europe, this Spanish rock salt has a different mineral profile with a higher potassium content. Its formation in the former primordial sea of Catalonia clearly shapes the composition and color of the salt. The fine grinding and natural processing clearly distinguish it from industrially refined table salt.

Taste & smell

From a sensory perspective, the salt is pleasantly salty with a mild, rounded note that unobtrusively blends into a wide variety of dishes. The delicate pink coloration indicates the minerals present without dominating the taste. In terms of aroma, the rock salt is neutral and therefore excellently suited for versatile everyday cooking.

Possible applications

• For daily seasoning of soups, stews, sauces and vegetable dishes
• As table salt in a shaker for adding salt at the table in family kitchens or gastronomy
