Fine Maras Salt 500g – 100% Natural and Handcrafted

This fine Maras salt 500g is a natural, high-quality salt harvested by hand from the salt pans of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, in Cusco, Peru. The fine version is a practical 500g pack for everyday cooking.

Rich in natural minerals

Maras salt naturally contains minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc. It contains iodine and is fluoride-free. It goes through no industrial processing, so it is free of additives and preservatives and every grain keeps its natural properties.

How it is harvested

Salt water from a natural spring flows through hundreds of terraced pans built by the Incas. The water evaporates under the Andean sun and the salt is collected by hand, as has been done for centuries. That is why its color and grain can change slightly from batch to batch.

Uses in the kitchen

The fine grain dissolves quickly, so it suits soups, sauces, salads, baking and as an everyday table salt. It is also a great choice to season meat, grilled dishes and vegetables evenly.

Maras salt in your pantry

Many Peruvian cooks keep Maras salt as their everyday salt and use it to finish a dish at the table. It pairs well with grilled meat, roasted potatoes, Andean grains, ceviche and fresh salads, and it makes a thoughtful gift from Peru for people who love to cook.

Storage tips

Keep the salt in a dry, closed container, away from direct humidity. A well-stored pack lasts a very long time. Keep the bag closed after each use so the grain stays loose and free-flowing.
