Origin and Technique
Harvested from Greek coastal waters, these pyramid flakes result from a meticulous evaporation process that encourages the formation of hollow, geometric crystals. Unlike dense table salt or coarse rock salt, the pyramid structure creates a lighter texture and more delicate mineral profile. The Mediterranean terroir imparts a subtle complexity that complements rather than masks the flavors of premium ingredients.
Usage Guidance: Do not crush these flakes in a grinder, as their beautiful geometric shape is part of the dining experience. Instead, gently crush them between your fingertips directly over the dish just before serving. This technique preserves the visual appeal and allows you to control seasoning with precision.
Texture: Delicate, hollow pyramid-shaped crystals with a light, crisp bite.
Packaging: 40g net weight in a glass jar with cork lid.

Common Questions
- How do pyramid salt flakes differ from regular sea salt?
- Pyramid flakes are formed through slow evaporation, creating hollow, geometric crystals with a lighter texture and more delicate crunch. Unlike dense granular salt, they dissolve quickly and provide visual elegance as a finishing touch.
- When should I add these flakes to my cooking?
- Use pyramid flakes as a finishing salt, adding them just before serving. Sprinkle whole crystals over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, carpaccio, or fresh salads to preserve their shape and texture. Gently crush between fingertips for controlled seasoning.
- Can I use pyramid flakes in a salt grinder?
- No, grinding will destroy the distinctive pyramid shape that makes these flakes special. Instead, crush them lightly with your fingers directly over the dish to maintain their visual appeal and delicate texture.
- How should I store this sea salt?
- Keep the glass jar sealed with the cork lid in a cool, dry place away from moisture. The airtight closure preserves the flakes' crisp texture and prevents clumping.
