This is a fino (fine grain) type of transparent rock salt mined from the rock salt layers in Sicily, Italy, which has been crushed into an easy-to-use form.
It has a strong salty taste without any impurities, and its clear flavor gives oily foods a refreshing aftertaste.
This natural rock salt is rich in minerals. It goes well with pasta and vegetables, sauces, meat dishes, and fried root vegetables.
Since it is a fine grain type, it can also be used as sprinkling salt.
Sir Di Roccia uses Sicilian rock salt, which is rich in natural resources and is entirely produced on the island of Sicily.
Rock salt is formed over a long period of time. Seawater trapped on land evaporates, forming salt lakes. Sediment is then deposited on top of the lake, and the salt underground hardens into a rock.
This is how rock salt was created. There is no place in Japan where rock salt can be mined.
Be sure to try Sicilian rock salt, the home of pasta.
