{"product_id":"peroyviano-roz-alati","title":"Peruvian pink salt","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeruvian pink salt is mountain spring salt from the terraced Maras salt pans in the Peruvian Andes, near Machu Picchu at an altitude of 3,000 meters. An underground spring of hot, mineral-rich brine flows into 4,200+ terraced pools, where it is evaporated exclusively by solar energy using traditional Inca methods. These salt pans have been in continuous use for over 2,000 years and are owned by 380+ families who inherit them from generation to generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe salt we use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use natural granules of 1-2 mm from solar evaporation, unrefined and without additives. The crystals form within weeks in the shallow pools, are hand-harvested and gently dried with exclusively mechanical processing — without chemicals. This preserves the natural mineral composition of the mountain brine absolutely unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistorical Identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maras salt pans are located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas (Valle Sagrado), near Cusco. The spring does not come from the sea but from an ancient marine layer trapped in the Andes, rich in trace elements. Unlike classic sea salt, this comes from a mountain spring at an altitude of 3,000 meters — a unique geological feature. Each pool belongs to a family and is harvested exclusively by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAroma, color and taste\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe granules are white to slightly off-white with a noticeably slightly moist texture. The light pink color that appears in some granules comes from the trace elements in the water, not from dyes. The taste is mild, rounded and harmonious — without harsh salty edges or a metallic aftertaste. It subtly enhances the aromas of ingredients without overpowering them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its 1-2 mm grain, it is ideal for a \u003cstrong\u003esalt mill\u003c\/strong\u003e, rubs and spice blends. It is also used as an everyday cooking salt for daily cuisine and gourmet dishes. Particularly suitable for fish, vegetables, poultry and light sauces.
