Saltverk Salt Gift Set

Góðan daginn, friends and readers. Don’t worry, you didn’t click the wrong translation, this is “good day” in Icelandic. Don’t worry, my spell check threatened to quit if I used any words with umlauts, so we are mostly going to stick to one language going forward. Saltverk, based in Iceland’s Westfjords, produces sea salt using geothermal energy, which is a better use than just for throwing rings into. Instead of waiting for seawater to evaporate under the sun, they boil it until the salinity climbs high enough for flakes to form, which are then harvested, dried, flavored and packaged by hand. It’s sustainable, carbon neutral and proof that even salt can have a stronger work ethic than I do before tea. To give everything a fair assessment in situ, which is Latin for “I’m trying to sound more professional than I am,” I tested them on fried eggs. The unflavored flaky sea salt had clean, crisp flavor and avoided that fishy taste that cheaper salts sometimes bring along uninvited. The Arctic Thyme salt, made from an actual Icelandic herb and not something invented by a sports drink company, added a bold herbal punch that felt ready to graduate from eggs to red meat. The birch smoked salt, which for most Americans sounds more like a craft soda than a seasoning, brought gentle smoke and a slight sweetness, like the egg had briefly wandered through a campfire. The lava salt, black from volcanic charcoal, looked dramatic enough to summon something ancient, but instead delivered a mellow flavor that faded quietly. Salt is usually the least interesting part of a meal, something you add without thinking, but this time it managed to steal the spotlight. Feel free to take that with a pinch of salt.
