{"product_id":"alati-inkas-pyramides-0-5-1-5mm","title":"Inca Pyramid Salt 0.5-1.5mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eInca Pyramid Salt is one of the most impressive finishing salts available. Its flakes have the characteristic pyramid shape—hollow from bottom to top, measuring 0.5-1.5mm—and deliver an excellent crunchy sensation when they dissolve in the mouth. It comes from salt pans in South America, using traditional solar evaporation and handmade collection methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe salt we use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use dried pyramid-shaped sea salt flakes without chemical processing or caking agents. Natural evaporation preserves all the trace elements and minerals of the seawater—magnesium, potassium, and calcium. The grain size of 0.5-1.5mm makes it ideal for finishing: it doesn't dissolve immediately but delivers a crunchy sensation and gradual saltiness to the dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGeographical identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt originates from salt pans in the Andes of South America—mainly in Southern Bolivia and Peru. Seawater is collected in special pans, and evaporation occurs due to the sun and wind, leaving behind the dark, pyramid-shaped crystals. Collection is done exclusively by hand, without mechanical processing, a practice that has remained unchanged since Inca times. The unique geography and climate of the Andes give the salt its unique mineralogical composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAroma, color and taste\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flakes are white to slightly off-white with a natural luster in the light—their characteristic pyramidal morphology makes them visually stunning on any dish. Their taste is mild, a clean saltiness without a metallic aftertaste, with a slight sweetness that emerges as they dissolve. It enhances the flavor of ingredients without overpowering them—this is the desired characteristic of a good finishing salt. Its aroma is neutral—simply pure, open saltiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is used exclusively as a \u003cstrong\u003efinishing salt\u003c\/strong\u003e—sprinkled on the dish just before serving. It is not suitable for cooking or in boiling water, because heat and humidity destroy its pyramidal morphology. Ideal for roasted and grilled meats (steak, roast beef), fish and seafood, ricotta, but also in desserts such as chocolate and caramel where it impressively enhances sweet flavors.
