About The Spice
Hawaii Kai’s Palm Island gourmet sea salts are a unique combination of taste, mineral content, intriguing varietals and affordability making them hard to compete with and certainly incomparable.More Information
Many specialty sea salts like red salt are mined from land deposits, not Palm Island. It begins as freshly harvested Pacific Ocean salt, with no additives, nothing artificial. It is then heated to remove impurities, as are the salts of many well-known brands such as Maldon and La Baleine. The next step in the process is what separates Hawaii Kai from all others. After many painstaking years of research they have developed an extraordinary mineral-rich tonic they call Ocean Essence.
They carefully blend this pure, unaltered, super-concentrated fluid into the Pacific Ocean salt through a proprietary multi-step technology, thus restoring natural flavor complexities and trace minerals, which are lost in the heating process. This results in a marvelously sheen and crunchy textured salt that is second to none. This salt is called White Silver and is the basis to their Red Gold and Black Lava sea salts.
Hawaiian Red Gold Sea Salt Q&A
What makes Hawaiian sea salt red?
Red Hawaiian sea salt gets its color from legendary medicinal clay laden with healthful benefits, known as Red Alaea, which exists only in the islands. This clay occurs naturally in bright, beautiful veins between layers of lava rock and is can be difficult to find. After the finest clay is selected, it is baked for purity then added to sea salt using a proprietary technique that bonds the natural clay to the salt producing a gloriously beautiful Red Gold sea salt.
Does red gold sea salt really taste different than other salts?
Yes, this salt does taste different than others. It has a delicious nutty flavor with a slightly sweet finish. Additionally, we believe that because of its quality and intensity, you don't need to use as much as you would regular salt.
