Luisenhaller deep-rock salt, coarse – coarse crystals for salt mill and finish
Luisenhaller deep-rock salt comes from the last pan saltworks in Central Europe, in Luisenthal near Göttingen. The brine is drawn from a 400-million-year-old salt deposit and traditionally boiled openly in the pan – without additives, without refining. This preserves the valuable accompanying minerals such as magnesium, potassium and iron, which give the salt its mild, rounded taste. The coarse grain is ideal for the salt mill and the crunchy finish.
Taste & character
Mild and full-bodied rather than sharply salty. Thanks to the natural mineral content, deep-rock salt tastes less aggressive than refined table salt and rounds off dishes harmoniously. The coarse crystals give a pleasant salt crunch when bitten.
How to use
For the salt mill, for fresh grinding straight onto the dish. As a crunchy finish on steak, oven vegetables, tomatoes, focaccia and bread. Also for cooking in a salt bed and for a salt crust on fish and roasts. For even seasoning while cooking and baking, the fine variant is recommended.
Goes well with
As a fine variant for cooking and baking: Luisenhaller deep-rock salt, fine. Fine finishing salts: fleur de sel and flor de sal. For savoury accents from the mill: African pearl salt.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is deep-rock salt?
Deep-rock salt is obtained from an underground brine from an ancient, untouched salt deposit. Unlike sea salt, it is free of modern environmental pollutants, as the salt has been enclosed for 400 million years.
Is the coarse salt suitable for the salt mill?
Yes, the coarse crystals are made exactly for that. They grind cleanly and, freshly ground, give the full aroma straight onto the dish.
Coarse or fine – which do I choose?
Coarse is suited to the salt mill and as a crunchy finish on the finished dish. Fine dissolves quickly and is ideal for cooking, baking and even seasoning.
