Sea Salt, Hawaii Kai’s Palm Island Gourmet™ Sea Salt, Red Gold
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. Many specialty sea salts 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.

Salt is an essential element in the diet of not only us humans but of animals, and even of many plants.

Hawaiian Red Alae Sea Salt is straight from the Hawaiian waters.

What gives this salt its color and does it really taste different than other salts? These are two questions that we hear often in our shop. The answer to the first question is legendary medicinal clay laden with healthful benefits, which is known as Red Alaea, existing only in the Islands of Aloha. This clay occurs naturally in bright, beautiful veins between layers of lava rock and is quite difficult to find and thus very expensive. After the finest clay it is selected by the Molokai islanders it is baked for purity. They then add it to the White Silver sea salt using a proprietary technique that bonds the natural clay to the salt producing a gloriously beautiful Red Gold sea salt.

To answer the second question, yes, this salt does taste different than others. It has a delicious nutty flavor with a slightly sweet finish. Perfect for using as a finishing salt for chicken, potatoes and seafood. Of course it also makes for an impressive presentation. Anyway that you decide to use it we think you will be thoroughly impressed. Additionally, we believe that because of its quality and intensity, you can use less, which is certainly considered a healthy choice.
