MATT MURPHY who I know from the fashion community started SEL MAGIQUE which is an incredible Salt company and he just started making lovely chocolates as well – they are wonderfully delicious. I just used the salt that has some herbs added last night and it made our dinner so flavorful. http://www.selmagique.com/
Sel Magique begins with our Classic Blend. We batch-blend 5 ingredients to create our extraordinary salt, an indispensable favorite you’ll love for its quality, versatility, and flavor.
The heart of Classic Blend is our Fleur de Sel from Guerande, France. This rare salt is hand-harvested in a tradition that dates from the Third Century, and is only harvested a few months of each year. It’s collected on ancient, protected sites by paludiers, local artisans who have perfected the process of their work over generations.
I didn’t realize what I was engaging in when BAR GELATO gave me a bar this was one of my favorite finds at the Fancy Food show – they are delicious everyone of them PISTACHIO, COFFEE, TCHO CHOCOLATE – really incredible !! I need one every night and it uses simple ingredients – nothing faux – all real clean and thoughtful ingredients
