Salt pyramids from Kampot - Flake salt in a luxurious gift box made of sandblasted Czech glass 170g

Perfectly pure, full of flavor, and rich in minerals – that's the salt from the Cambodian province of Kampot. The tradition of harvesting sea salt in the region runs as deep as the cultivation of pepper. The conditions here are indeed ideal. Intense sunlight, ocean breezes, and a welcoming climate have encouraged the establishment of salt farms and the extraction of salt from the ocean for centuries. Its quality can be compared to sea salt from the most renowned regions in France or Portugal.

The process of obtaining coarse sea salt is a a manual, delicate craft that has remained unchanged for centuries. It involves the crystallization of salt on the surface of special pools called salines, where ocean water is channeled and enclosed. Through the action of sunlight and wind, the water gradually evaporates, leading to the formation of salt crystals on its surface.

The resulting crystals are collected by hand, without any technological intervention, using only long wooden rakes. This process ensures that the structure of the salt remains consistent, resulting in perfectly pure and the highest quality salt.

The harvesting and processing of sea salt in Kampot, much like with pepper, are the responsibilities of individual small farms. Families of farmers pass down the tradition of sea salt production from generation to generation. As a result, the salt is of the highest organic quality, without the need for any subsequent refinement. Just like with pepper, we also purchase salt directly from these farmers to ensure they receive fair compensation for their hard work.

Even something as seemingly ordinary as salt can surprise you. This is evidenced by salt flakes, which are sought after by chefs and gourmets from all over the world. The reason for their popularity lies in their unique shape and the way they can elevate your culinary skills to a new level.

These are the selection of the largest salt crystals that have grown into the shape of flattened pyramids. Their flavor profile approaches the freshness of the ocean with floral undertones, while retaining a significant amount of minerals, including potassium, magnesium, and calcium.

Thanks to its shape and structure, the unique flavor of this salt blends perfectly with the dish. There's no need to reach for a grinder at all. You can simply crush the salt between your fingers and have a perfect idea of how much salt you are adding to the dish. Due to its intense flavor, you only need to add a very small amount for seasoning.

Thanks to its rapid absorption, it is ideal for any meat processing, such as koshering. Due to its excellent adhesion and aesthetic perfection, it is frequently used for the final seasoning of dishes, whether it's carpaccio or caramel or chocolate desserts.

We pack our salt pyramids in resealable doypack pouches, but they look their best in the 170g luxury gift jar made by Czech glass masters. The traditionally frosted canister perfectly preserves the properties of the flake salt, and it will also stand out on the kitchen counter, ensuring the salt is always at hand.

After emptying, you can upcycle the jars in the spirit of sustainability and continue to use them in a variety of other ways. Each package also includes a brochure that gives you the story of the best pepper and salt in the world, introducing you to the world of .pepper..field.

Quality is our top priority, as evidenced by the awards our salt has received from global competitions. Among the most significant is the star awarded to our fleur de sel and salt pyramids in the Great Taste 2022 competition, one of the most prestigious gastronomy contests in the world. Sustainability is also crucial for us, and we view it as more than just empty words. This commitment is highlighted by the SDG's award given to genuinely sustainable and socially responsible projects.
