Sea Salt Flakes - salt pyramids - a selection of the largest Kampot salt flakes crystals 100g

Perfectly pure, full of flavor and minerals, that's the salt from the salt pans of the Cambodian province of Kampot. The tradition of obtaining sea salt in the region is deeply rooted, just like the cultivation of pepper. The conditions here are ideal. Intense sun, ocean breeze, and a friendly climate have prompted the establishment of salt pans and the extraction of salt from the ocean for hundreds of years. Its quality can be compared to sea salt from the most renowned regions in France or Portugal.

The process of obtaining coarse sea salt has been unchanged for centuries and involves meticulous manual labor. It crystallizes on the surface of special pools called salines, where ocean water is pumped and enclosed. Through the effects of the sun and wind, the water slowly evaporates, leading to the formation of salt crystals on its surface.

These crystals are hand-collected without any technological intervention, using only long wooden rakes. This manual approach ensures the consistency of the salt's structure and keeps the salt pure and of the highest quality.

Just like with pepper in Kampot, individual small farms are responsible for harvesting and processing sea salt. Farming families pass down the tradition of salt production from generation to generation. As a result, the salt is of absolute organic quality, without the need for any subsequent refinement. Similar to pepper, we source this salt directly from these farmers to ensure they receive proper compensation for their hard work.

Even something as seemingly ordinary as salt can surprise you. This is demonstrated by salt flakes that are sought after by chefs and gourmets from around the world. The reason for their popularity lies in their unique shape and usage, which can elevate your culinary skills to a new level.

These are the selection of the largest salt crystals that have grown into a flattened pyramid shape. In terms of flavor, they are reminiscent of the freshness of the ocean with floral notes, while retaining a large amount of minerals, including potassium, magnesium, and calcium.

Thanks to their shape and structure, the unique flavor of this salt blends perfectly with the dish. There is no need to use a grinder at all. You can simply crush the salt between your fingers and have a perfect idea of how much salt you are adding to the dish. Due to its intense flavor, only a very small amount is needed for seasoning.

Thanks to its quick absorption, it is ideal for any meat processing, such as koshering. Due to its good adhesion and aesthetic perfection, it is widely used for final seasoning of dishes, whether it's for carpaccio, caramel, or chocolate desserts.

Thanks to the materials used and the special bag sealing technology, air and moisture do not reach the salt. This allows the salt to retain its authentic taste and aroma even after opening the package. Moreover, after emptying the bags, you can upcycle them for further use in the spirit of sustainability. Each package also includes a brochure that explains the story of the world's finest pepper and salt and introduces you to the world of .pepper..field.

Quality is our top priority, as confirmed by the awards our salt has received from international competitions. Among the most significant is the star awarded to our fleur de sel and salt pyramids in the Great Taste 2022 competition, one of the world's most prestigious gastronomy competitions. Sustainability is also very important to us, and we don't view it as empty words, as evidenced by the SDG's awards given to truly sustainable and socially responsible projects.
