SOSALT DAL MARE DI TRAPANI Coarse Sea Salt 12.5 kg (27.56 lb) — Hand‑Harvested Sicilian Crystals, Mineral‑Rich

SOSALT DAL MARE DI TRAPANI Coarse Sea Salt is a hand-harvested Sicilian sea salt in a 12.5 kg bag, prized for its large crystals and clean, mineral-rich flavor suitable for cooking, curing, grilling and brining.

Harvested from the historic salt pans between Trapani and Marsala, this coarse sea salt is produced using traditional evaporation and manual raking techniques that have been preserved for generations. The large crystals dissolve slowly, delivering a steady seasoning and texture that chefs and home cooks rely on. Packaged in bulk for professional kitchens or pantry-savvy households, this 27.56 lb bag provides extended supply for frequent use, from finishing steaks to preserving vegetables.

How is this salt harvested and why does that matter?

The salt is collected by hand following the age-old Trapani method: seawater is evaporated in shallow pans, then workers break and pile the crystals manually for collection. This careful approach preserves the crystal structure and avoids mechanical crushing, keeping the coarse texture intact.

• Traditional hand-harvesting maintains large, irregular crystals
• Evaporation in open salt pans concentrates natural trace minerals
• Minimal processing ensures clean flavor without additives
• Sustainable cultivation across century-old saline ecosystems

What culinary uses suit coarse SOSALT sea salt best?

Coarse crystals are ideal when you want a pronounced crunch or a measured-slow dissolve. Use it as a finishing salt on cooked meats and roasted vegetables, for brining poultry, or when curing and canning where crystal size affects texture and salt uptake.

• Finishing steaks, fish, and grilled vegetables for crunchy bursts
• Brining whole birds or making pickles and preserved foods
• Curing charcuterie and salting for traditional recipes
• Seasoning during high-heat cooking like asado, parilla, or grilling

How should I store and measure this large 12.5 kg bag?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place to prevent clumping from humidity. Because crystals are coarse, measure by weight or use a pinch-to-grind approach for recipes that call for fine salt; coarse salt equals less volume per gram than table salt.

• Store in a dry pantry or transfer to airtight containers for frequent use
• Weigh for recipe accuracy or dissolve in water for brines
• Use a salt mill or mortar to reduce crystal size when needed
• Bulk size suits restaurants, catering, and heavy home cooks
