Alea Sea Salt comes from Hawaii, where it was once used only in religious rituals by the Polynesian natives. It is a mixture of sea salt and Hawaiian Red Alaea, believed by the locals to be a medicinal clay laden with healthful benefits. The red clay is rich in iron oxide, which gives the salt its russet color and earthy flavor.

Alea Sea Salt is unprocessed and completely natural. It is a great finishing salt and can really improve the flavors of mild aged cheeses like gouda or cheddar. It will also enhance foods featuring dark chocolate.
