Pyramid sea salt is a unique and visually striking type of salt known for its delicate, pyramid-shaped crystals. This gourmet salt is not only prized for its distinctive shape but also for its clean, crisp flavor that enhances a variety of dishes.
The formation of pyramid sea salt is a meticulous process that begins with the evaporation of seawater. This process typically takes place in shallow pans or pools located in coastal areas with abundant sunlight and gentle winds. As the seawater evaporates under the sun’s heat, the concentration of salt increases. When conditions are just right, the salt begins to crystallize, forming tiny, hollow pyramid shapes.
The key to creating these unique crystals lies in the careful control of the evaporation process. The seawater must evaporate slowly and evenly, allowing the salt molecules to arrange themselves into the characteristic pyramid structure. This process can take several days and requires a delicate balance of temperature, humidity, and wind.
Once formed, the pyramid salt crystals are carefully harvested by hand to preserve their shape. The resulting salt is light, flaky, and dissolves quickly on the tongue, making it ideal as a finishing salt. It adds a delightful crunch and burst of flavor when sprinkled over dishes just before serving, enhancing everything from salads to steaks.
