Sea Salt with Chili and Lemon 8:26 Histories | Crete, Greece | 180 g

Description

Cretan sea salt with chili and lemon from 8:26 Histories combines simplicity of ingredients with exceptional versatility in the kitchen.

Delicate sea salt flakes are combined with piquant chili and fresh, citrusy lemon aroma. The result is an intense yet well-balanced blend that not only seasons a dish but gives it distinctive character.

The salt comes from Crete, a Greek island renowned for its pristine waters, natural salt marshes, and centuries-old traditions of sea salt harvesting.

This is a product that works best as a finishing salt. Added just before serving, it retains its structure, spicy kick, and citrusy aroma. The flakes can be crushed between your fingers and scattered evenly over the finished dish.

Flavor Profile

The blend offers three distinctly discernible elements:

1. natural, pure taste of Cretan sea salt,
2. warming spiciness of chili,
3. fresh and lightly tart lemon aroma.

This combination pairs particularly well with dishes that need salt, a touch of heat, and citrus brightness simultaneously.

Perfect for Steaks and Meat

Season meat after searing, ideally during the steak’s resting period or just before serving. This way, the salt maintains its texture, while the chili and lemon remain distinctly present.

Pairs beautifully with:

1. ribeye steaks,
2. roast beef and beef tenderloin,
3. tomahawk and porterhouse steaks,
4. lamb,
5. grilled chicken,
6. burgers,
7. beef tartare and carpaccio.

With a quality steak, a small amount is all you need – the salt should enhance the meat’s flavor, not overpower it.

For Fish and Seafood

The chili and lemon combination is made for seafood. The salt pairs beautifully with:

1. shrimp,
2. scallops,
3. grilled octopus,
4. squid,
5. salmon and tuna,
6. roasted and grilled fish.

You can also use it to prepare citrus butter for fish or combine it with extra virgin olive oil for a simple dressing.

Culinary Uses

Cretan sea salt with chili and lemon also works wonderfully for:

1. grilled and roasted vegetables,
2. fries and roasted potatoes,
3. salads and vinaigrettes,
4. pasta and risotto,
5. eggs, avocado, and tomatoes,
6. hummus and vegetable pastes,
7. marinades,
8. finishing touch for soups and creams,
9. Mediterranean, Mexican, and Asian cuisine.

To preserve the full aroma of lemon and chili, add the salt toward the end of cooking.
