This salt is a little luxury that really adds some texture and fun to everyday dishes.  These are very thin but large splinters of salt -- they almost remind me of snow flakes in that they start to melt the moment you place them on hot foods.  But enough of the flakes stay to add  crunch and saltiness.  There are no other salts quite like this.  Great on asparagus, salmon, tomatoes-- everything, but especially warm things where the flakes melt a little but not too much. When I purchased my first box I wondered how long it would take-- seemed like it would last forever but we like this so much that we found we were using it very frequently.  Came to Amazon to order more and discovered that the price here is really good -- the sticker from WS on my old box showed me that I paid about twice there as I did now on Amazon.  Maybe that is an outcome of the strong dollar?
