Uyuni desert salt granules 1–5 mm

Product description

Discover Uyuni desert salt from Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni, a high-altitude salt flat with a brilliant white salt crust. This natural table salt is pure white and supplied as evenly sieved granules of 1–5 mm. It is ideal as a coarse kitchen salt for everyday use.

The desert salt offered by Biova is carefully harvested by hand, dried and processed without any additives. As an unrefined spring water and lake salt, it is free from anti-caking agents and stands out for its clear, uniform structure. The granulated grain dissolves well and allows precise dosing when cooking.

In the kitchen, Uyuni desert salt is highly versatile – from soups and sauces to pasta and vegetables, as well as meat and fish dishes. Thanks to its coarse granules it is perfect for salt or spice mills or for finishing dishes at the table, and offers caterers and bulk users reliable Biova bulk quality.

Origin

Uyuni desert salt comes from the Salar de Uyuni in the Bolivian highlands at around 3,700 metres above sea level. The dry climate and intense sunlight shape 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 sieved to the granulated size of 1–5 mm.

Special features

Typical characteristics are the bright white colour and the even, coarse structure of the granules. As a natural, unrefined spring water and lake salt, it is free from anti-caking agents and ideal as a coarse 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 salt desert in the highlands. Predominantly manual harvesting and minimal processing preserve the original structure and appearance of this coarse-grained Biova salt.

Taste & aroma

Uyuni desert salt delivers a clean, pure salt flavour without intrusive off-notes. It tastes mild and well balanced, lets the natural flavours of the food take centre stage and is neutral in aroma.
