The dominant salt in Sweden, Falksalt has been in the business since 1830, focusing only on making gourmet and unique salt. This variety takes on a unique, flaky, pyramid shape. It's created by evaporating sea water, then letting it simmer in large pans until flakes emerge, which are raked out by hand. This technique has its roots in an ancient process -- taught to the folks at Falksalt by Cyprus artisans -- by which flake salt is created when saltwater hits sun-heated boulders at the right temperature. And this particular flake salt is enhanced with the herbal aroma and taste of rosemary.
Infused with fragrant and flavorful rosemary, this condiment is excellent on beef, chicken, lamb, and vegetables. Use it to enhance the flavors of your cooking and evoke subtleties. Use as a finishing salt for grilled meat to let the rosemary aroma penetrate deep inside the meat's tissue, or add it to an overnight marinade for a steak. Also add it to potatoes before roasting.
