Clifford Bay sea salt flakes, a fine aromatic finishing salt from New Zealand
Clifford Bay sea salt flakes come from the remote, unspoilt and sun-drenched salt bay on the South Island of New Zealand, one of the cleanest coasts in the world. The seawater dries in shallow pans in the sun, leaving behind coarse, fine and aromatic salt crystals with a gentle minerality.
How to use
Simply crush the coarse flakes between your fingers or add them to a salt mill. As a finishing salt they go on the dish only after cooking, so the crunch and aroma are preserved. They pair wonderfully with grilled fish and meat, with vegetables, and also on a good slice of bread and butter or tomatoes with olive oil.
Tip: scatter the flakes over the dish just before serving so they keep their fine crunch.
What makes them special?
The Clifford Bay salt bay lies far from industry on one of New Zealand's most pristine coasts. This makes for a particularly pure salt with a fine aroma. The flake structure dissolves quickly on the tongue and gives the dish a clear, mineral salt taste without sharpness.
