So for my Christmas present Helenka surprised me in this video with a wonderful gift of salt which we now call the “Salt Chest” (you will see it in most of our episodes).
In future “Friends Food Fun!” episodes Helenka chooses the best salt to accompany the recipe we are working on (kinda like wine pairing but using salt instead 😛 ).

Enjoy the video!

Here are the list of salts and descriptions that were included within (starting with the most expensive).

“A culinary adventure from the priceless and precious to the prosaic and practical”

# 1 Fumée de Sel Gourmet Sea Salt
Cold smoked in oak wine barrels used to age fine Chardonnay wine.

# 2 (tie) Cyprus Flake Gourmet Sea Salt
Cyprus Flake is a favourite among professional chefs. The unique pyramid shaped crystals have a fresh ocean flavour and a satisfying crunch.

# 3 (tie) Murray River Flaked Gourmet Sea Salt
A mild apricot coloured crystal from Australia.

# 4 Fleur de Sel Gourmet Sea Salt
Known as the “caviar of salts”, the delicate flavour and moist texture makes for an ideal finishing salt.

# 5 Salish Smoked Gourmet Sea Salt
A pebble textured Pacific sea salt that takes up intense smoke flavours from slow smoking over red alder. It’s rich and solid enough to marry with beef, game, poultry and fish. Excellent finishing rub on roasts and salmon!

# 6 (tie) Alaea Hawaiian Gourmet Sea Salt (course)
A mild tasting salt that comtains purified Alaea clay.

# 7 (tie) Bolivian Rose Gourmet Sea Salt (coarse)
A high mineral salt harvested from the Andes Mountains.

# 8 (tie) Himalayan Pink Gourmet Sea Salt
Hand-mined within the pristine Himalayan Mountains.

# 9 Mediterranean Gourmet Sea Salt
Harvested in the South of France.

# 10 New Zealand Gourmet Sea Salt
Harvested from the deep clear waters of the South Pacific.

# 11 Pure Ocean Gourmet Sea Salts (course)
Harvested from the pristine blue waters off the coast of Brazil.

Aurora Mediterranean Sea Salt
This ancient natural food enhancer has been collected from the waters of the Mediterranean shores of Sicily. Sun and wind evaporate sea water reservoirs to white crystalline salts masses, harvested and cleared of impurities. This true product of nature, gourmet preferred, contains absolutely no additives and may cake together after long periods of time. In our opinion, a firm tap on the bottom of the box is a small price to pay for the great taste of nature.
