Product Description

4 oz bag. The Murray River Pink salt has a fragrant but mild flavor, and is very attractive & elegant on the table. The texture of this salt is ideal as a finishing salt. The flaky crystals provide a slight crunch, and then melt quickly evenly. It has rapidly become a favorite finishing salt for many of the top chefs here in the USA. The salt is also excellent for roasting and baking. The folks who live in Australia's Southeastern state of Victoria have been fighting a never ending battle with salinity in their rivers, and wetlands, especially in the Murray Darling River Basin. The Murray River is the largest of all rivers in Australia, and it has been stated that the salinity problem in the Murray Darling basin is the most significant environmental problem affecting Australia as we enter the next millennium - the salt loads continue to increase. Just a short number of years ago a few enterprising individuals began try to alleviate the problem by developing facilities to remove salt from the water basin. The salt is produced by feeding saline water from the Murray Darling Basin into crystallizing ponds, where it evaporates at a high rate in northwest Victoria's arid climate. When they began, they had industrial and agricultural applications in mind, and maybe a little table salt, but little did they realize that this region produced some fairly unique salt. One of the salts produced was pink to apricot in hue and with flat crystals, and when some of Australia's professional chefs tried it, they just raved. Word spread slowly to America and Europe - it's hard to keep something this good a secret - but everyone who tastes it calls it a winner.

5.0 out of 5 starsPink Salt is Perfect
By Electic Chef on April 10, 2008
I had this salt at a friends today. It a perfect salt as it had no fillers and comes in the form of flakes. I used it on browned potatoes and it made the potatoes jump. I thought I had sprinkled on too much but since it's thin flakes I had to put a bit more. I loved the way it made my potatoes taste. I'm ordering some now.

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect salt
By Richard K. Patrick on September 9, 2014
This is the best salt I have ever tried (and at one time, I had about 15 different salts). You can taste it side-by-side with others to tell the difference - the Murray River salt is mild with a delicate bite, but perfect size granules. An excellent finishing salt - sprinkle on sliced tomatoes or a resting steak, but don't dump it in pasta water or anything like that.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood deal, but color not as pink
By Michelle on December 27, 2012

I use all kinds of gourmet salts and Murray River is my favorite. The Spice Lab offers this nice large 4oz bag, for a pretty good deal. Only complaint is color isn't as rosey as I've seen in past. Otherwise quality is good.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat finishing salt
By Ted Hunter on January 6, 2013

This we do not use during the cooking process. As a finishing salt we sprinkle a bit on any veggie. Very soft. Would not be that effective on red meats.
