Quick Reference
What is it?: A Hawaiian-style salt coloured and flavoured with Alaea, the red volcanic clay traditionally associated with the islands.
Flavour: Salty and earthy, with a subtle mineral note from the iron-rich clay.
Common uses: Crush for finishing, use decoratively, or add to dishes where the red colour forms part of the presentation.
Pairs well with: Pork, fish, roast vegetables, rice and Hawaiian-inspired dishes.
Compare with: Earthier and visually redder than plain sea salt; less neutral and primarily valued as a finishing salt.
Substitute: A mild sea salt can season the food, but it will not reproduce the Alaea colour or earthy mineral note.
Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from steam and moisture. For smoked or delicate finishing salts, close the pack promptly to protect their aroma and crystal texture.
Good to know: The red colour is created by Alaea volcanic clay, not by colouring added simply for appearance.
