Product information "Uyuni desert salt granules 1–5 mm from Bolivia"
Product description
Discover Uyuni desert salt from Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni, one of the largest salt flats on earth. This natural table salt is brilliant white and supplied as evenly sieved granules of 1–5 mm.
The desert salt offered by Biova is carefully harvested by hand, dried and processed without any additives. Its coarse, granulated structure dissolves well and allows precise dosing during cooking.
In the kitchen, this spring water and lake salt is highly versatile – from soups and sauces to pasta and vegetables, as well as meat and fish dishes. Thanks to its granulated size, it is also ideal for grinders or for seasoning directly at the table.
Origin
Uyuni desert salt comes from the high-altitude Salar de Uyuni in south-west Bolivia at around 3,700 metres above sea level. The dry highland climate with intense sunlight shapes the formation of this spring water and lake salt.
Cultivation / production / harvest
Biova Uyuni desert salt is extracted directly from the solid salt crust. The upper layer is loosened by hand, collected, gently dried and then only sieved to the granulated size of 1–5 mm.
Characteristics
Typical are the bright white colour and the even, coarse structure of the granulated salt. As a natural spring water and lake salt it remains unrefined, free from anti-caking agents and is ideal as a kitchen salt in Biova bulk quality.
Differences in origin and processing
Unlike sea salt from coastal regions, Uyuni desert salt is formed in an inland highland salt desert. Predominantly manual harvesting and minimal processing preserve the original structure and appearance of this coarse Biova salt.
Taste & aroma
Uyuni desert salt delivers a clear, pure saltiness without intrusive off-flavours. It tastes mild and well-balanced on the palate, lets the natural flavours of dishes take centre stage and is neutral in aroma.
Suggested uses
- Everyday seasoning of soups, sauces, stews and vegetable dishes
- As a coarse table salt for grinders or for finishing directly at the table
- For meat, fish and grilled dishes and for cooking pasta, rice and potatoes
