great productSep 11, 2009
I needed red Hawaiian sea salt for a recipe. It was very easy to order and came right away. It was very good in the recipe. I'm glad I was able to purchase it this way because I could not find it in a store near me at all.

Earth of the SaltJul 21, 2009
Alaea sea salt contains traces of red clay from the Hawaiian pools where it is condensed. That explains its color, its slowness to dissolve, and its flavor. I have no idea whether the clay adds any nutritional value to the salt, but it has a certain Biblical resonance. "Clay thou art, Adam!" In fact, the name 'adam' is derived from the Hebrew word for clay.
This is the only 'boutique' sea salt I've come upon that seems well worth the extra cost. It's extremely tasty on heirloom tomatoes. It looks appetizing on steaks and chops, sprinkled at the last moment before serving. It's something to reserve for "finishing" and "plating" food. A six-ounce jar will last a long time in most kitchens, so this is a decent value.
If you live in the South, you might try sprinkling alaea sea salt on the tail of the next ivory-billed woodpecker or Carolina parroquet you see, as a means of clearing the land for development.

I bought this salt and the black lava salt for my husband, who is the chef in the family. Both are delicious, with different flavors that are appropriate in different settings. He's having a great time determining all those settings, and I'm having a great time tasting his results.
The salts came with a note from the company and a free sample of some candy; it was a very friendly and pleasant introduction to the company. They also arrived quickly, in plenty of time for the gift-giving occasion for which I needed them.

Love the flavor of this salt. The salt changes colors on hot food and gives it a different look.
