The Fleur de sel of the Algarve is called in Portugal the “sun cream”, and represents a very precious salt, known since the ancient Romans. It has recently been rediscovered by chefs around the world. It shows a crunchy texture, a mild flavor and an ivory white color. Very rich in magnesium and potassium, and goes well with any type of dish.
Malagueta pepper or Guinea pepper is particularly rich in essential oils. Its scent is reminiscent of ginger, but notes of cardamom can also be perceived, so much so that it is often used or recommended as a substitute for the latter in recipes. It is used to flavor stews and some grains of this spice are added to the traditional drink based on kola nut typical of Sicily.
A salt much appreciated by those who know it: once you try it you can't do without it. Smoked flavor suitable for grilled meat dishes or to be used to prepare a nice carbonara. Being a particularly strong salt, with paprika, it must be measured sparingly.
Natural persimmons are delicious and beneficial fruits. Being dehydrated fruits without added sugar, they release a delicate and naturally sweet taste on the palate, not excessively sugary.
