Volcanic Salt (Coarse)

This Volcanic Salt is sustainably sourced from the Island of Madeira. It is unrefined mineral salt that gives it its distinctive colour and mineral content from the volcanic rock from which it is mined. As it contains traces of magnesium and iron, this salt and others like it actually give a small health boost to the dishes you choose to use them in. This type of salt has a distinct sulphuric flavour, so it's typically used as a finishing salt. 

It is also traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. If you want to mellow out that sulfuric flavour, it's better to cook it into a dish.
