Black Hawaiian sea salt, also known as black lava salt, is harvested from the coastal waters of the Hawaiian islands. Ancient solar evaporation techniques preserve the salt’s mineral content and give it a crunchy bite, while a coating of activated charcoal obtained from coconut shells provides its distinctive black color and earthy flavor. Prized by culinary enthusiasts the world over, black Hawaiian sea salt complements roasted and grilled foods, provides texture and contrast as a finishing salt for salads and fresh fruit, and is right at home on the rim of a cocktail glass.
