Description
Inca Salt is close to our hearts of the chilli world, coming from the Machu Picchu spring lakes and still extracted today as it was 500 years ago by the mighty Inca Empire, when used with Aji Chilli Peppers I do feel like I am sharing a meal with these people from a different age, it feels right and natural, wonderful food satisfaction
See the pic of the terraced farms, the spring water is damned forcing it to flow through the steps and the sun does the rest removing the water to leave behind the Inca Salt Flakes, farming as it should be done - in balance!
The salt comes from 3000 meters up making it very clean pure salt, similar to Fleur de Sel, perfect for all cooking

Quick Reference
What is it?: A Peruvian spring salt produced in terraced evaporation ponds high in the Andes near the historic Inca heartlands.
Flavour: Clean, mineral and moderately strong, with a light flake-like texture.
Common uses: Use for cooking or as a finishing salt, particularly with South American ingredients.
Pairs well with: Aji chillies, potatoes, maize, grilled meat, beans and roast vegetables.
Compare with: More delicate than dense rock-salt chunks and closer in use to a mineral-rich finishing salt.
Substitute: Fleur de sel or another hand-harvested spring salt is the nearest substitute.
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 brine is channelled through centuries-old terraces and dried by the Andean sun, a method still closely tied to local tradition.
