Spanish Rock Salt (Catalonia, sodium-reduced) All-natural mountain salt with 25–40% less sodium thanks to a higher potassium content – mild, clear-mineral and lightly pink.
· Category: Salt (rock salt, Catalonia)
· Taste: mild-salty, clear mineral; fine grain, lightly pink
· Use: everyday cooking (vegetables, sauces, pulses); sweet-salty in caramel and dark baked goods
· Format: 170 g jar; 1000 g stand-up pouch
My tip: For salted caramel, take it off the heat and stir in 1–2 pinches – gives depth without pushy saltiness.
Origin & Story
In the Catalan hinterland lie geological salt domes that stem from a prehistoric primal sea. These natural deposits reach far back into the Earth's history and are among the most significant salt occurrences on the Iberian Peninsula.
What makes this salt special is its high potassium content. It arises from the specific composition of the deposit and leads to a natural reduction of the sodium content by 25 to 40 percent – entirely without technical processing.
Highlights
Thanks to accompanying iron minerals, the salt appears lightly pink and has a fine, pleasantly mild aroma. The taste is clear and restrained, with no metallic or bitter notes – even without additives.
Many sodium-reduced salts have to be supplemented with additives like lysine hydrochloride to make up for weaknesses in taste. This rock salt does without such additives. It is all-natural, minerally balanced and versatile in the kitchen.
Quality
The salt is extracted directly from the mountain in Spain, dry-milled and not refined. It is neither washed nor treated with technical additives. The high potassium content arises solely from the geological nature of the raw salt.
The best spices have always inspired me to create new dishes. Only the best is good enough to reach the very top – for you, in your kitchen. 100% natural. Just the way I use it myself, every day.
Tip from Tobias Funke
I like using this rock salt in sweet-salty combinations – for example in caramel sauces or over dark chocolate bakes. The reduced sodium content is barely noticeable, but makes the overall effect much more harmonious.
Recommended use
- As a fine table salt for everyday use
- For vegetable dishes, sauces or pulses
- In a mindful diet with less sodium
- In sweet recipes like caramel or dark baked goods
