Aalea Black Salt Hawaii
Gourmet finishing salt from Molokai — sea salt with activated charcoal
Hawaiian black sea salt is a striking finishing salt produced from Pacific seawater near Molokai and blended with a small amount of activated charcoal for its deep color and crisp texture. Use sparingly to finish dishes and for eye-catching plating.
- Type: Sea salt, coarse / flakes (finishing)
- Origin: Molokai, Hawaii
- Taste & texture: clean salinity, light mineral note; crunchy crystals
- Best for: steaks, seafood, roasted vegetables, grilled tofu, buttered corn, artisan breads
Culinary uses
- Finish, don’t cook: sprinkle just before serving to preserve crunch and color.
- Steaks & seafood: a pinch on grilled steak, tuna, scallops or salmon enhances flavor and presentation.
- Vegetables & grains: finish roast potatoes, asparagus, pumpkin or rice bowls.
- Butter & breads: top cultured butter, focaccia or sourdough for contrast and snap.
- Plating: use sparingly—charcoal can tint liquids if stirred in.
Dosage & kitchen ratios
- Per portion (finish): ~1–2 generous pinches (≈ 0.3–0.6 g).
- For boards/butters: 1 tsp per 100 g butter or per small sharing board.
- Avoid brines & long cooking: color may leach and crunch will be lost.
