Coarse Grain
Earth, wind, fire and water join to create a natural union that determines the unique crystal character of each salt grain. Coarse Grain crystals are the natural product of the cool, windy days marking the end of the monsoon rains. Fragile crystals are gently scooped from the surface of the brine to dry in the exposed wind and sun. The traditional harvest creates salt crystals formed in miniature hollow pyramids that display a truly distinctive texture and subtle flavor.

Fine Grain
Earth, wind, fire and water join to create a natural union that determines the unique crystal character of each salt grain. Since ancient times, Fine Grain salt crystals have been treasured for their ability to heighten the flavors of any ingredient they meet. Our Fine Grain salt is produced in the dry season when the sun shines down on the black sand beaches causing rapid crystallization of the brine. In the early morning twilight, miniature crystals are harvested from the brine's surface to dry as the sun rises overhead.

Stone Ground
In traditional Balinese cooking, many recipes call for local sea salts hand ground into powder using a volcanic stone mortar and pestle called an ulekan . It was thought that by grinding the salt, the subtle flavors of this treasured ingredient could accentuate the final dish. In following with Balinese tradition, Big Tree Farms Stone Ground sea salt is also ground to a fine powder using these very same volcanic stones.
