Truffle Salt with Petalos de Sal and Summer Truffle

Truffle Salt combines two distinctive ingredients: summer truffle (Tuber aestivum) and delicate Petalos de Sal flakes from the province of Alicante, Spain. The result is an aromatic gourmet salt with a crisp texture and distinctive truffle notes, designed primarily for finishing dishes, where even a small amount can add a unique touch.

The salt we use

The product is made with Petalos de Sal, delicate, fragile salt flakes with a pleasantly crisp texture. They come from the province of Alicante, Spain, about 40 kilometers from the Mediterranean, an area with a long tradition of salt production. The crystals’ distinctive shape makes them ideal as a finishing salt, as they break easily and disperse across the dish.

Origin and identity

Summer truffle, botanically known as Tuber aestivum, is added to the salt flakes. It is a European truffle species harvested mainly during the warmer months and into the beginning of the colder season. It has a distinctive, though generally milder, aromatic profile compared with some other truffle varieties.

Aroma, color and flavor

The product combines the clean salty taste of the crystals with the earthy, complex aroma of truffle. Summer truffle may feature subtle earthy, garlicky and malty notes. Visually, the pale salt flakes are interspersed with small brown to dark pieces of truffle, creating a distinctive natural appearance.

How to use it

Truffle salt works particularly well when added toward the end of preparation. Try it on pasta, risotto, potatoes, eggs, mushrooms, salads and roasted vegetables. It can also be used with meat or fish, in butter or mashed potatoes, or sprinkled over freshly baked bread. Truffle has a distinctive aroma, so it is best to start with a small amount and adjust according to the dish.

Pairings

For different culinary options, try Pink Himalayan Pyramid Salt for a crisp finish, Smoked Pakistan Salt for a more pronounced smoky character, or Fine Pink Himalayan Salt for everyday use.

Natural appearance

The flakes and crystals are not perfectly uniform in size, while the pieces of truffle naturally vary in shape and color. A single package may contain both larger and smaller flakes, as well as finer fragments. This variation is to be expected in a product that combines different natural ingredients.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light, heat and moisture. After opening, seal the package tightly or transfer the product to a clean, dry, airtight container. Proper storage helps preserve the texture of the flakes and the distinctive aromatic profile of the truffle.

Precautions

Salt is a source of sodium and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Those following a sodium-restricted diet or who have received specific dietary instructions should follow the recommendations of their healthcare professional. Always check the package label for information about the specific product.
