This is my first experience with specialty sea salts. I thought, salt-was-salt, unless it was infused with my favorite flavoring ingredient, truffles. Was I ever wrong! These finishing salts are guaranteed to elevate your meal to the highest level of---well, delectable.

We couldn't wait to put this trio to the test. On their arrival, we immediately prepared some luscious grilled steak and veggies, tasting the finished products, first without the finishing salt, then experimenting with the different salts. We were truly amazed at the degree of flavor enhancement. The flavors simply popped! And, you actually are taking in less sodium with sea salts, so there is an added health benefit.

This trio would make the ultimate holiday gift, or anytime hostess gift. And, purchasing all three at once is a great opportunity to experiment and identify your favorite. These are not small trial sized containers, either. You will receive generous portions of each salt, and since such a small amount is required, I can see them lasting quite some time. You also needn't fear breakage, or spilling during delivery. They were packaged carefully, and the containers are not glass.

I found it fascinating to research each salt---the locations of origin, the harvesting and the mineral contents. This certainly would be an intellectual conversation starter, for any table with those unfamiliar. There are also endless recipes to be found spotlighting the product for guests---like an appetizer of hot, crusty bread, drizzled with olive oil, grated fresh Parmesan, and the Black Lava Salt. I've not tried that yet, but I sure will.

The Fleur de Sel is a hand harvested product from France. It is recommended for grilled fish, salads and crusty bread. The Black Lava Salt is a product of Hawaii, recommended for sushi, grilled chicken, fish and steak. And finally, the Alaea Sea Salt, also a product of Hawaii, is excellent on salads and grilled steaks (it certainly was on ours).

Treat yourself, or a budding gourmet friend. I can't really see anyone disappointed with the experience. I know, I'm already counting the hours until supper preparation tomorrow. Guess you can see I'm having fun, here. Isn't that what life is all about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Groumet Touch, February 20, 2008

Okay, you probably don't really need these finishing salts. But the flavors are amazing and it really does add a nice touch when you're trying to impress your dinner guests. I really don't cook with salt but adding little sprinkle of black or red salt adds crunch and color that can really make a dish pop.

I have just placed my third order for finishing salt from Das Salt. Ms. Das provides an excellent product that I find myself using time and again in much of my cooking. I am far from a gourmet chef, but I do like to experiment with different spices and flavors from time to time, and her salts do often add just a bit of subtle flavor that helps just about any meal. Finally, with my first two orders and I'm sure my third I just placed, customer service has been excellent. Each time a card or invoice signed by Ms. Das has been included, along with a sample of another product she sells under the "Das Food" line, like some of her caramels. Packaging is always excellent too, the jars are well protected without using excess packaging. This is a product I fully recommend if one is looking for a gourmet finishing salt.
