Salt – The Ultimate Ingredient

While the base ingredient in most salts is indeed sodium chloride, the location and method of production impact the final makeup of salt, much like wine, where the intrinsic properties of the grapes are characterized by the soil or ‘terroir’, the geological makeup of the regions in which salts are harvested have a significant bearing on their flavours.
