Harvested from ancient salt springs in the Andes Mountains of Peru, this extraordinary salt has been produced using traditional Incan methods for thousands of years. The salt-rich spring water flows into a series of terraced salt pans carved into the Andean mountainside, where it is slowly evaporated by the intense Andean sun at high altitude. The result is a pure, mineral-rich coarse salt with a clean, bright flavour and a remarkable story behind every crystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Maras salt pans near Cusco, Peru, are a UNESCO-recognised cultural heritage site. When you use Inka Sunsalt, you are connecting with one of the oldest and most extraordinary salt-making traditions on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes Inka Sunsalt Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ancient salt springs of Maras have been flowing for millennia, carrying mineral-rich water from deep within the Andes. The high-altitude sun evaporates the water slowly and naturally, concentrating the minerals and creating crystals of exceptional purity. The salt is harvested by hand by local families who have maintained these salt pans for generations. No industrial processing, no additives, no anti-caking agents — just pure Andean salt as it has always been made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlavour Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInka Sunsalt has a clean, bright saltiness with a subtle mineral complexity and a slightly sweet finish. It is less harsh than refined table salt and dissolves cleanly on the palate. The coarse crystals add a satisfying crunch and a burst of clean, pure flavour. It is an exceptionally versatile salt that works beautifully in both cooking and finishing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing Salt:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sprinkle over grilled meats, fish, salads, and roasted vegetables just before serving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrilling \u0026amp; BBQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e The coarse crystals create a flavourful crust on grilled meats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCeviche \u0026amp; Peruvian Dishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e The authentic salt for traditional Peruvian cuisine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheese \u0026amp; Charcuterie:\u003c\/strong\u003e A clean, mineral-rich finishing touch for any board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCocktail Rims:\u003c\/strong\u003e A unique and authentic salt rim for margaritas and Pisco Sours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrinder Refill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coarse crystals are ideal for salt grinders and mills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peruvian Andean Sun-Dried Salt – Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maras, Cusco Region, Peru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coarse crystals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e White to pale pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditives:\u003c\/strong\u003e None — unrefined and natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStorage \u0026amp; Shelf Life\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore in a sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
