These artisan salts are moist, coarse grain, naturally pink or white sea salt from the pure sea waters of Pangasinan in the Philippines. It is hand-harvested, sustainable, eco-friendly, and artisan-produced. Harvested only 4 months of the year without the aid of machinery or fossil fuels, these salts represents hope for a better future for the local community and awareness to culinary enthusiasts and chefs everywhere of a nearly forgotten product. Crafting these salts is an incredibly labor-intensive process. Producing flavorful, quality salts require generations of experience, clean seawater and natural heat from the sun. Today fewer than 50% of salt producers remain holding the knowledge of traditional methods of production.

The Pink Pangasinan salt derives its natural pink color from the sugpo shrimp. An appealing briny interplay of flavors support a sharp primal taste spurred by a firm lively saline structure. Its crunchy texture from hollow, pyramid crystals stimulate the palate and imparts a sense of ineffable firmness. This is a full-bodied salt, yet it wears its weight gracefully—a true flavor enhancer for fowl, fin and swine, regardless of preparation.

The White Pangasinan salt is wonderfully bright, clean, crisp flavors powered by underlying minerals define this complex and well-balanced salt. Texture is crunchy from hollow, pyramid crystals allowing the salt to adhere on the surface of foods and pleasantly covering the palate. Use for grilling, roasting and finishing to boost all foods from sweet to savory. Fleeting on the palate, use liberally without restriction.
