About this product

The traditional red salt of Hawaii, in a grinder for the table.

'Alaea salt is Hawaiian sea salt mixed with 'alaea, a red volcanic clay rich in iron oxide. Hawaiians have used it for centuries for cooking, preserving and ceremony. The clay gives the salt its brick-red color and a mellow, earthy minerality that is less sharp than plain sea salt. It is the salt for kalua pork, poke and lomi salmon, and it is very good on anything you would normally salt, from grilled fish to sliced tomatoes to the rim of a glass.

Who this is for

  • Cooking Hawaiian dishes the way they are meant to taste
  • A finishing salt with color and softer flavor for the table
  • Anyone who has switched to unrefined salts and wants a mineral-rich one
  • A gift for a cook who has everything
