What's behind your spice/herb from Crete-Manufacture?
Sea salt and herbs
Cretan herb salt combines hand-harvested sea salt from the south coast with oregano and thyme from local farmers in Gouves. The sea salt is obtained through natural evaporation, and the herbs grow naturally without fertilizer or additional irrigation. All ingredients are harvested by hand and sun-dried. The blend is predominantly herb-based – for more aroma and less sodium.
Hand-harvested and mixed
Oregano and thyme are picked in the early morning hours when their essential oils are most concentrated. After drying, they are carefully blended with sea salt. The result is a balanced mixture in which no single ingredient dominates. The herbs carry the aroma, the salt adds accents – not the other way around. Many commercial herb salts consist of about 80% salt, which is intentionally herb-dominant.
In the kitchen
Herb salt is incredibly versatile: use it in salads, grilled vegetables and meat, fish, potatoes, dips, and marinades. Thanks to its high herb content, you need less salt than with conventional blends. The aroma is especially pronounced when combined with olive oil. In Crete, this combination – herbs, salt, and olive oil – forms the basis of everyday cooking. Just a pinch is enough to create a taste of the Mediterranean.
Wissenswertes
Kretisches Meersalz als Basis, verfeinert mit mediterranen Wildkräutern aus dem kretischen Bergland. Alles handverlesen, an der Sonne getrocknet, ohne Rieselhilfen, ohne zugesetztes Jod, ohne Aromen. Ein Kräutersalz mit gewachsener Rezeptur, kein Industrieprodukt.
Überall dort, wo Salz und Kräuter zusammenwirken sollen. Über Ofenkartoffeln, gegrilltem Gemüse, Fisch, Fleisch, in Marinaden, auf Butterbrot mit Tomate oder im Rührei. Am besten zum Schluss darüberstreuen, damit die Kräuter ihr Aroma behalten.
Trocken, dunkel und gut verschlossen lagern, am besten in einem Glas oder einer Blechdose. Vor Licht und Feuchtigkeit schützen. So bleiben Salz und Kräuter etwa ein bis zwei Jahre voll aromatisch.
