Tast­ing Notes from the Curator

Terre Exo­tique Viking Smoked Salt with its del­i­cate smokey aro­ma, is cur­rent­ly found on the best tables in north­ern Europe and is used in many tra­di­tion­al Nor­we­gian dish­es. It has an intense, smoky aro­ma rem­i­nis­cent of the forests of the Great North and of sea spray. 

Its main ingre­di­ents include the finest salt, onions, smoked salt, pep­per, and tumeric.

Prepa­ra­tion

Known to be inher­it­ed from the Vikings, this salt is a superb accom­pa­ni­ment to gratin dauphi­nois, eggs, crunchy raw sal­ad veg­eta­bles and of course, salmon. Both strong and del­i­cate, Terre Exo­tique Viking Smoked Salt makes a won­der­ful, mag­i­cal condi­ment to have at reach in your own kitchen.

A Culi­nary Heritage

Viking salt is known to be a culi­nary her­itage of these for­mi­da­ble war­riors. In love with adven­ture, rich­es, and war, the Vikings, aboard their fear­some long ships, con­quered Europe, Rus­sia, the Mediter­ranean coast and the north­ern part of the Amer­i­can con­ti­nent in the 10^th century.

Viking salt from Egersund (a charm­ing Nor­we­gian fish­ing port on the edge of the majes­tic fjords) is a mix­ture of salt, cur­ry and black pep­per. The recipe had fad­ed into obscu­ri­ty, but recent­ly was found again, much to the delight of many.
