Himalayan Salt Gift Set
Category: Savory Foods | Guide Price: $14.99
This unique gift set supplied by Olive Nation comprises a cube of hand-carved, dusky pink pure Himalayan salt, together with a stainless steel grater; a refillable grinder full of 100% organic pink peppercorns, and a separate refill tin. The items are packed in a natural wood box.
You could be forgiven for never having heard of Himalayan salt (we hadn’t either!), but it is said to be the world’s finest sea salt. It was created 250 million years ago, and is hand-harvested from deep within the Himalayas. The pink color comes from certain essential minerals. The grater allows you to shave a fine dusting of salt over your food, bringing elegance and fun to the table.
The organic pink peppercorns are harvested from the Bais Rose, and are prized for their spicy and slightly lemony flavor.
The environmentally conscious will love this gift for its ‘greenness’, not only are the ingredients all natural and organic, but they are sustainably sourced and presented in recyclable packaging. Even the shrinkwrap used to cover the box is 100% compostable corn film.
