Crystalvine Wine Salt


We start with sea salt and flavor it with red wine. The perfect romance between the soul of the sea and the oldest mystery of the land, love brought to fruition by heat.

The salt, pale, uninteresting and by itself is repelling to the palate. Isolated from the depths of the ocean using the forces of nature. Sea salt, pure, solar harvested from clear waters. Natural sea salt, hidden in the vastness of the ocean, seemingly lost and nonexistent but ever present and ubiquitous, brought forth by the calm forces of nature, the heat of the sun and the caress of the summer winds, leaving it pure and bare waiting for a flavoring kiss.

Our Infused Salt Flavors

Red wine - the ultimate mysterious product of the land, complex yet simple. Brought forth from the land with vigor and stamina, stepped on, violently wrestled from its shell, fermented, extracted from its core as all the while it struggles to retain its secrets. Its anger is allowed to rest in the cool, dark depths where it matures into liquid fire, its heat waiting to be released, tasted, savored, remembered. One taste and its deep body permeates the senses: the depth and clarity of its red, like a jewel liquefied, its fragrance heady and intoxicating, the flavor complicated and varying as it caresses the mouth, leaving its touch behind, the tongue tingling and the palate wanting more and never satisfied, the effect on the blood lasting and heavy, releasing emotions and liberating the heart. Red wine, chased but never harnessed, enjoyed but never conquered, present but ever changing with time. Unknowable.

The two come together, unusual, unpredictable, each with its own strong will and desire, what an intoxicating combination. The salt, arid and pale, brought to new life with a lively pink color, the wine liquid and deep now embedded into each crystal of sodium chloride. The two have brought together the impossible, the vastness of the oceans and the depths of the earth. The combination a new entity with the knowable personality of salt and the mystery of wine. It's impossible to tell who chased who. Does it matter who conquered and who succumbed? One look and taste, and the salt immediately kisses the tip of the tongue held fast by the heady wine flavor that licks the back of the palate. Love at first sight.

To be used right before serving on your favorite food. It will sit on top like a jewel, slowly melting into the juices of the food, melding with it, changing its color, becoming one with it until you can't see it anymore except for its trace of color to remind you that it's there, waiting for you to enjoy it. Salt Like Never Before.
