Sweet and Salt
Salt Traders

We were just not prepared to smell and taste what was under this sweet pink and brown cover, tied with twine. We were not prepared to raise eyebrows and smile and close eyes in appreciation of all the culinary possibilities that this blend evoked. We ARE prepared though to let you in on this sumptuous secret…so that you too can be amazed!

Who knew that chocolate is better with salt? Top chefs! The best chef’s know that the juxtaposition of sweet to salty is what awakens the palate from the stupor of too much sweetness. What will zing your taste buds when sweet predominates? Salt.

But while the sweet-salty idea may seem obvious to some, what is so divine about this blend is that the salt to sweet comparison is taken one step further. Here are the ingredients: salt, dried fruit, citrus peel, baking spices, toasted vanilla bean, crystal-sized dark chocolate nuggets, air-dried grape must and cane sugar. Oh my!

Can you taste and sense the possibilities that this 3.5-ounce jar contains? A twist of your fingers in this light and dry blend and a chocolate éclair would sing! Cannoli would be elevated; chocolate torte would be richer and more complex! Whip this into butter and slather it on hot croissants or sprinkle it over cheddar while eating fresh mint and a brioche. It would be too divine on freshly whipped cream floating on a steaming mug of hot chocolate…

Nudge and tickle the senses by dashing this over creations that contain balsamic vinegar, and sweet cheese such as mascarpone-filled ravioli. This would enhance any classic Tiramisu recipe and make chicken and even some light and delicate fish recipes mysterious.

What a versatile, aromatic, enticing and surprising salt blend! This is for the adventurous cook who loves to surprise, and be surprised! This is elegant, simple, complex, sweet, salty and positively yummy….it’s also Pure Zing! The aroma alone is enough to transport you!
