Herbed Sea Salt

220 g (7.76 oz) jar

Dario Cecchini Antica Macelleria Cecchini, Panzano in Chianti

Profumo del Chianti is the essence of Tuscany. Finely ground sea salt and sun-dried aromatic herbs, dry and flavorful. That’s how the old Tuscans that I remember are, and there are still some: they’re dry, smooth, proud, they look straight ahead toward the essence of things, the harmony in beauty. The old Tuscans who have tasted this salt say it has the perfume of the woods, of summers in the fields, it has the flavor of family.

Ingredients: sea salt, dried thyme, dried sage, dried green peppercorns, dried coriander, dried juniper, dried wild fennel, dried rosemary, dried laurel, dried lavender.

This finely ground Italian sea salt is blended with aromatic herbs including bay leaf, thyme, sage, fennel pollen, juniper, rosemary and lavender – a combination you might not think of to highlight the best flavors of a great steak. Have no fear. The blend is masterful. After steak try it with other meats, vegetables and or add zip a dipping oil. In any combination it is perfect with a Tuscan extra virgin olive oil.
