Best Finishing Salt for Steaks
The secret behind the taste and shape of different sea salt crystals lies in the geographical region they are from, the weather conditions, and the harvesting process.
Since not all sea salt crystals are alike – what sets Montagé apart?
Montagé Hollow Salt Pyramid Crystals are from South East Asia and are formed by natural solar evaporation process where the warm sun, whispering wind, and optimal temperatures play a crucial role in crafting these beautifully shaped salt crystals.
Our artisanal salt makers carefully and patiently monitor the salt evaporation process and collect the salt by hand when the crystals are ready. Our small Hollow Pyramid Crystals take 3-4 days to form while the large Hollow Pyramid Crystals take 5-6 days to reach their magnificent shape.
What makes Montagé the best finishing salt for steak?
Montagé sea salt crystals are the best finishing salt for steak because they are:
- Easy to control during the seasoning process due to their size and texture
- Tasty due to their magnesium content
- Look beautiful on desserts with salt and steak
- Loved by professional Chefs
- Elevate your Tomahawk steak, T bone steak, flank steak and bone in ribeye to the next level
The magnesium mineral content in this sea salt is responsible for the delightfully sweet taste of Montagé salt. It perfectly enhances both savory dishes and desserts. Our unrefined sea salt contains no additives.
What’s makes Montagé sea salt crystals different from commonly available flaky and pyramid salt?
Unlike commonly sold pyramid salt, Montagé sea salt crystals take between 3 to 5 days to form their shape, depending on size of the crystal. Many salts on the market today come from areas where the sun is limited. In order to obtain the open salt pyramid shape, many Salinas heat the concentrated brine in indoor evaporation tanks. When salt is obtained through the heating process, the result is a drier salt. When salt has a lower moisture content, it dissolves faster and the pyramids lose their shape quickly.
Montagé salt is evaporated under the sun in solar evaporation pans and its moisture content is higher. The crisp and crunchy texture and structure of Montagé’s pyramid sea salt crystals are second to none. Our Large sea salt crystals have become a favorite among chefs and home cooks that love to cook lamb and steak.
