Would you be surprised if we told you that high quality salt is often overlooked as a natural source of electrolytes?

A small pinch of mineral rich salt has the power to elevate a bland dish into a flavorful culinary feast, all while providing essential electrolytes. Salt can also assist you in preparing the best drink for dehydration.

Let's explore the significance of sodium chloride, known as salt, and electrolytes. Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium are vital natural minerals necessary for our body's regular operations. These essential elements are naturally found in high-quality rock salt and sea salt, which are abundant in trace minerals.

Since we first launched in 2022 in the USA, we engaged with many customers in person during salt sampling events, discovering their interest in electrolytes and gourmet salts.

What pleasantly surprised us was that many customers bought our flaky Himalayan salt and sea salt to enhance their homemade electrolyte drinks. When asked about their preference for salt-based electrolytes, customers expressed a preference for sugar-free and naturally flavored electrolyte water.  Some individuals shared that they turned to high-quality salt when they couldn't find a suitable unflavored electrolyte powder. Essentially, when conventional choices didn't align with their tastes, they opted to create their own natural electrolyte drinks or flavorful dishes at home!

The two Montagé salts that won the love of foodies, active lifestyle lovers and chefs as both great finishing and electrolyte salts are fleur de sel and Himalayan flaky salt. Chefs have confessed that they love how the naturally occurring magnesium present in our fleur de sel makes the steak taste sweeter. The flaky Himalayan salt won the hearts of pastry chefs for being an overall great compliment to chocolate and eye candy to desserts. Those leading an active lifestyle or following a keto diet revealed that they like our fleur de sel on their steak. They also confirmed they use Himalayan flaky salt in their electrolyte water which they turn into their best drink for hydration by adding citrus and fruits they love.

If you're unsure about choosing between electrolyte powder or electrolyte salt, consider this: what flavors and scents appeal to you the most? Are you drawn to a specific electrolyte powder, or do you prefer adding electrolyte salt to your favorite beverages or dishes filled with meat, vegetables, and fruits for a flexible option?

Have you ever experienced the combination of watermelon and salt? At Euphoria Greenville in 2023, we held a watermelon with salt tasting event that drew an ecstatic crowd. At one point, we were swamped and understaffed due to the long lines of people eager to try this delicious pairing of salt on watermelon. On a warm September weekend, this combination was ideal - refreshing, hydrating, and packed with natural electrolytes.

The lesson learned in recent years is that many people are unfamiliar with the different types of salt on the market. Just like the wide variety of craft beers and fine wines, there is a plethora of exquisite artisanal salts waiting to be discovered.

At Montagé, our goal is to provide quality gourmet salt that is rich in natural electrolytes and can be used with your favorite drink, meal, or dessert throughout the day. From the packaging to the quality of the salt inside, we offer a modern, cultural, and casual unrefined salt experience that complements the kitchen, countertop, and pantry beautifully.
