The salt blocks/slabs come in nine different sizes, weighing as much as 19 lbs each from Saltworks, America’s Sea Salt Company. Each slab is of the highest food grade quality, having gone through a quality assurance programme in the USA and will come with an authenticity certificate and a copy of the definitive guide called “Salt Block Cooking”, by Mark Bitterman, America’s leading salt block expert.

The salt slabs are mined from the mountains of Pakistan and are made of 600 million years of compressed pink salt, in its purist form, having been sealed in a hermetic vault under the earth’s surface for 600 hundred million years.

The salt slabs are being launched in the UK by London’s Divertimenti on the Brompton Road on the 4th September 2014. The launch event is being hosted by Mark Bitterman, author of best seller books “Salted” and “Salt Block Cooking”. Mark will be demonstrating all the uses of the salt slabs as well as offering Master classes during his week long visit to London to promote the salt slabs and also to educate on ‘more is less’, with the use of salts in cooking.

The 8 inch by 2 inch round block will retail for £40 with the Salt slab cooking book (rrp £14.95) included

The 8x16x1.5 inch rectangle slabs will retail for £65 including book.

The showstopper is the 12″ by 2″ inches round roasting slab at £85 (again with the book) and weighs an impressive 19lbs.

The Salt Blocks should be the must have gift for every foodie in the UK.

A crowdfunding campaign has been launched to meet the increasing demand for the blocks. The campaign can be seen on www.crowdfunder.co.uk. For the last 24 hours of the crowdfunding campaign on offer is a private chef for the day, free of charge x 4 rewards, all you have to pay for is the food and wine in a pledge and will also offer the ‘tasting circle membership’ to anyone who pledges £25 or above as an extra on their pledge. This will kick off  at 9am Thursday 14th August for our last 27 hours of the campaign.
