Artisan Salt Company Bolivian Rose Andes Mountain Salt, Fine, Zip-Top Pouch, 4 Ounce

I bought this for a specific recipe. Chocolate lava cakes. It looks and tastes nice. If you need a special salt with some texture - this is a nice one.

These are very pretty. The salt starts with delicate, thin-walled, hollow, square pyramids of salt. To achieve the black color, they are coated with charcoal powder. When the pyramids are whole, they are quite attractive. , When using on dry products it is a very eye catching presentation. Be careful, however, making something look pretty can make it way too salty. More than a few pyramids is too much for many things.Yes, the bag is small. My only concern with the bag is it crushes a lot of the pyramids which makes the product like any other charcoal-coated sea salt product because you lose the eye-candy part of the product. Also, if you use it on wet foods, the coating can come off and the shape isn't as obvious and/or the charcoal can stain the food. Not as attractive. For this price, this is definitely NOT the type of salt you use while cooking. You ONLY use it for finishing.Overall, if you need sexy salt, this is the deal. If you need actual black salt (uncoated) this is not for you. If you want the black salt used in Indian cooking (the one that smells sulferish) this is not for you. If you want to top dry foods with salt that catches your eye, this is for you.

I ordered the first bag and it may have been a mistake, idk, but it was like a sample sized bag. Absolutely tiny lol. I returned it, bought a normal sized bag. Much better value and it works very well

These are small like sample sizes of gourmet salts. The pic shows the package being held up in front of a person and it is exactly about that big. I am not sure what everyone else's version of a 3- or 4-ounce package of salt would look like or how humongous you must believe the human used must have been to feel you were duped, I doubt they used Dwayne Johnson, however I got exactly what I was expecting because I actually read all of the information about the product I was purchasing. Exactly as expected and the product is also excellent. I have used for both protection around my home and other spells as well as for cooking, this salt is mighty powerful and very tasty. 10/10 would recommend.

*Note the package size of 4 oz* - I thought this was going to be a bigger pouch than it was. That said, it's definitely a tasty salt. The flakes are a little larger, and I don't think it could flow through many salt shakers. I'll link the salt shaker I use below, as it has adjustable holes that can accommodate bigger flakes. The taste is fairly neutral, and I'm still not totally sure it's worth the higher price tag, but I did enjoy it.Salt Shaker with Adjustable Holes: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L9MG4YK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It subtle but it’s perfect for my kalua pork! I’ve been craving this since we came back from Hawaii and to my delight, I have found a pretty similar tasting recipe for it and I don’t have to dig a pit and cook the pig for hours! Lol not like I have a place or time to do that anyway. If you guys are interested, here’s the recipe:Pork butt or shoulderLiquid smokeRed salt (from Hawaii)WaterShredded cabbagePlace everything except the cabbage in the slow cooker and cook on high for 8 hours or in instant pot for 90 mins. Turn it off and mix in the cabbage. It’s that simple! Yummm!

I got this product to decorate cupcakes. Yes, decorate. I made chocolate cupcakes with a caramel filling and a brown sugar buttercream. To offset the sweetness and stay within the color scheme, I used this salt for the salted caramel flavor and to have it stand out on the buttercream. Needless to say, it was a hit. People couldn't believe that it was salt at first, and the crystals had just enough salt flavor to make a nice contrast to the sweetness of the caramel.One thing of note: use a spoon with this salt. The charcoal will rub off and you will wonder why your fingertips are black.

This stuff is the shizzle (does anyone say that any more?). We cook with less salt now, just so we can justify more crunchy salt ... on EVERYTHING. Soft scramble your eggs, put a pat of soft butter on top then sprinkle crunchy salt. #sorrynotsorry Morton's.We have the original, square glass jar that our first purchase came in. This is the refill (so you should have a container for it). Perfect size.
