Persian Blue Salt

This salt is the rarest of them all, coming from ancient mines in Iran. Its sapphire color comes from a rare optical illusion created by its crystals. Persian blue salt can be used in any dish, but keep in mind that its flavor starts out rather bold, then gradually becomes milder and sweeter. 

Suggestion:

Although mild in flavor, it does have a significant crunch factor. It's best used as a finishing salt and goes particularly well with desserts but also helps season savory mains and appetizers, such as foie gras, truffle dishes and seafood. We also suggest using it to salt the rims of your cocktail glasses!
