Red Hawaiian salt, also known as Alaea sea salt, is a traditional salt used widely in Hawaii for both seasoning and preserving. It gets its red colour from the addition of “Alaea,” a baked volcanic clay that enriches the salt with iron oxide. This natural red clay also gives the salt a subtle, mellow flavour that distinguishes it from other sea salts.
Our current batch of red salt has medium-sized crystals and is ideal for general seasoning, especially with roasted and grilled meats like prime rib and pork loin.
