Product Description
What is Finishing Salt? The best way to discover finishing salts and begin using them is to try them with your own cooking. Look at them up close, admiring the extraordinary range of shapes and colors, noting how they refract, reflect, or obscure light. Touch them, feeling the crests and edges, letting your fingers snap flakes or crunch chunks, plunging a spoon through a glistening mound of it. Then of course you taste them, and with every dish comes a new discovery as infinite variations of mineral contents and moisture contents and crystal structures and crystal sizes combine in your mouth and the flavors, textures, and aromatics of your food.
Our starter sets are the best way to explore finishing salts, whether you are a veteran chef, or have never even heard of finishing salt before, or both!
Our aim is on to provide you with salts that are practical and salts that are playful, and some salts that are just plain startling.
Our basic starter sets each include six salts.
* Sel Gris de Noirmoutier
This Sel Gris is rich in flavor and mineralst
* The Meadow Fleur de Sel
An effective replacement for all industrial kosher, table, and sea salts.
* Maldon Flake Sea Salt
A delicate flakey salt from the UK. Snow-flake texture for a unique experience
* Turkish Black Flake
A dark black pyramid-flake shaped salt, adding color and geometry to your cooking
* Molokai Red
A bright red dry salt from the Hawaiian island of Molokai
* Kauai Guava Smoked Salt
A salt dried by the sun and hand-harvested, then lovingly smoked slow and low over Kauai's native guava wood.
Each set comes with a brochure explaining the world of finishing salts, as well as suggested uses.

Taster Tins
By Psycho Kitty
Since I was introduced to finishing salts, I've never been able to go back to plain old table salt. I highly recommend trying a sampler set of salts to see which one(s) you like before buying larger quantities, and it's also nice to have a variety of salts for different tastes and food/uses. Finishing and Gourmet salts are not just for Foodies, but for the average cook as well. It is fun to try them on different combinations of food. You don't need to worry about getting too much salt in your diet if you omit salt during cooking and add a pinch on fresh, pure, non-processed foods at the table or upon serving. Not only do finishing salts improve the flavor of so many foods, but they can add to the presentation.A salt sampler makes a great gift, but if gifting, buy the bottles instead of the tins - they would make a much more attractive gift. I got the tins because I needed small and light containers, but you wouldn't want to set them out on the table or keep them anywhere visible.As for this particular sampler and the seller: It was shipped very quickly, and the quality of salts is fine, however -- it would have been helpful had they indicated the quantity (weight) of salt for the taster tins in the description. It is indicated for every container, except the tins. (It varies: .6 oz., .9 oz., and 1 oz. depending on the density of each salt). It would also be helpful if each label was on the top of the tin instead of the bottom so you don't have to turn each one upside down to identify the one you are looking for - unless you are able to see through tin. The informational brochure that came with them would have been great - IF the type was large enough to read! I had to use a magnifier and still couldn't read some of it because of the poor quality printing in addition to the tiny size, and I have 20/20 vision.

Sea Salts starter set - very nice
By Annette E. Wilkinson
Finishing Salt Starter Set - 6 Different Sea Salts From Around the World, Small Taster TinsThis starter set is very nice. I am really enjoying these salts as each one is quite different. The set came with pamphlet that describes each different salt and what it is good to use it for.

By C. Wambeam
I've been curious about finishing salts but wasn't sure which salt would be the best to use. This starter set is allowing us to really explore the differences in flavor, color, and grain size. You just need a tiny sprinkle on top of your food -- a little goes a long way (but that's the point). My only complaint is that these tins are very difficult to open, and sometimes cause a bit of a spill when they give that final pop. It would have been nice to have jars instead.
