First off, the company sent me a HANDWRITTEN thank you note. When do you see that in the age of computer print outs. I thought it was an extra touch as far as customer service. I will be returning to this company again.
The flavor is OMG. My best friend is Hawaii so I often use the red Hawaiian salt, this BEATS its. It has a subtle but GREAT flavor. I will buy again!

I love this salt. It tastes fantastic; I even find myself putting it on things I normally wouldn't salt. I've gotten my husband to buy me more of the sea salts, they are all equally delicious!

Just discovered this black salt and now a big fan. While it does leak the color, the taste is worth it. I rub it on pats of ice cold butter that I serve with good bread. Everyone makes a comment about the stunning contrast and once they taste it on the bread with the butter - they become hooked.

This is a wonderful large salt crystal that really adds color and flavor to any dish you would accent with salt. It does disolve quickly so use it just before serving.

I bought this salt for the first time a few months ago. Let me just say its the best salt for a ribeye steak. I don't use it as a finishing salt. I put the salt on the steak about 30 minutes before i'm ready to cook it..all you need is this salt, pepper, and a nice thick ribeye. My fiance and daughter that they had to have A1 and bbq sauce with steak, not anymore. Once you try it you'll love it..lol..

Makes a nice presentation and has a nice flavor. Large crystals are very versatile.

I like trying different salts, so when i saw this, i had to snag a jar for myself. It actually arrived early, which was nice.
The taste is quite bright, and is a great finisher. I just tried it with chicken, and it really made the flavor pop. I plan to try it on a chocolate mousse next.
An interesting by product is that since it is made in part from lava rock, it actually leaves a residue on your hands when you handle it.
Anyway, pretty neat and quite inexpensive. As long as you arent copiously coating all your food with it, this jar should last a while.

Update: I've been using this salt on a variety of things, including eggs, various meats, fresh tomatoes (from my garden), as well as the aforementioned chocolate mousse (which i had been planning when i wrote the review initially) and chicken. It has continued to be a wonderful addition to my kitchen, and the tomatoes and chocolate mousse in particular stood out as bar none winners.

I'm from Hawaii and was hesitant to get this product but of course, I had to try it as I like food and new interesting things for the kitchen. When I first received it, I thought I was looking at just black Lava Rock. I had a taste with my girl friend and was pleasantly surprised on the flavor of this salt. It is sort of salty, smokey, and just the right hint of bitters with a good crunch to it. I have tried it as a finishing to salmon and steak so far and they turned out fantastic. I can't think of too much more that I would like to use this salt on... It does give an interesting look (as it's black) and crunch to the finish of the two items. For the price it is good but I wouldn't use it everyday as it could prove to be expensive if you are on a budget like myself.

This is wonderful salt to rim Margarita glasses. Vivo in Austin has an incredible cucumber margarita rimmed with Hawaiian sea salt, and it is incredible.

I will definitely be keeping this in my collection, great salt and great vendor. This shipped the morning after I ordered it and received it two days after that. Had a free sample and a bamboo salt spoon in it too.
