 Fabulous Salt, But I Wish I Knew Which Was Which! March 14, 2010
spamgirl (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
The salt was mailed in a bubble mailer, so the case was cracked and full of loose salt. The salts are tiny, but that's fine because salt isn't something you need a ton of and it IS a sampler. Each container is the size of an eyeshadow.
The salts are fabulous, but there is no card saying which is which! I had to go to their website, look at the photos, and guess. The onion, garlic, and smoke are obvious as they smell like what they are... and the coloured ones are pretty easy to guess. I still don't know what the white ones are!
Also, the card that came with it said it included a lime flavour, but it didn't - the lime is missing from their website, so I assume they were out and substituted something else in it's place. That's fine, the sale I got is great!
My husband, the salt connoisseur, loves the Applewood Smoked. I like the onion and found the garlic smelled more garlicky than it tasted. I'm sure we'll make good use of all of them, if my husband doesn't snack on them all 'till they're gone!

I love this sample pack of salts. I couldn't decide which ones I wanted so this was the perfect solution. The smoked salt is amazing as well as the garlic. Mmmmm... I enjoyed them all! The hawiian red salt was awesome for kaluha pig in the slow cooker. Rubbed a pork roast in the red salt, added a splash of liquid smoke, cooked all day. Delicious.
Fantastic little sampler! Be sure you know the size before ordering. January 31, 2010

The samples are quite small I admit, but I'd read the reviews before ordering. The person who described each sample as being approximately the size of 4-5 stacked quarters was about right. But if you've done any looking around at other finishing salts, you shouldn't be surprised or feel ripped off by this. $20 (including the shipping) is a pretty low price for this many salts no matter how you look at it.
However, these salts are an excellent little collection for really comparing them and figuring out which you'd like to buy more of. Many are incredibly good tasting (although the smoked one dominates the smell unfortunately) and the variety of textures is fantastic.
Depending on how you use these (I recommend just using as finishing salts on to accent a dish such as meat, veggies, etc) each one will last a couple of meals.
My personal favorites so far are the onion salt (better than any onion salt I've bought at the grocery store), the applewood smoked salt (just plain good flavor...I really want to make a mushroom rissoto for this for some reason), the lovely large crystal salt from brasil (it's crunch is fantastic! I could love this one on anything) and of course the black Cyprus salt that is just plain a texture adventure. There are a few I'm not as fond of (mostly the pinkish ones) though I think that's personal preference...but that's why you should get a sampler first! I'm sure glad I did. These might be small, but it's such a great way to try and compare. I absolutely recommend this.
