Don't waste money on expensive and often inferior designer salts. This salt is good, REALLY good as a finishing salt. I'm a chef, and I cant recommend this enough. If your thinking of trying all the exotic harvested salts, give this a try first. It is just as good as the classics like fleur de sol, while being a fraction of the cost. The only reason to buy the more expensive salts is to have a jar to put this in to fake your hipster friends.
