Sea Salt & Something More
Our sea salt is a coarse, moist salt that is harvested
from the pristine Sea of Cortez. Its taste has a rustic, intense
flavor that is healthier and tastier than traditional table
salt. The perfect salt for gourmet cooking!
The farming of the salt is based on ancestral methods using
controlled salt ponds. The ocean is allowed to flood flat,
shallow, beds and then a dam is used to trap the water. The
water then naturally evaporates as it is dried by the sun,
leaving a layer of sea salt.
The salt crystals are harvested by hand.When
purchasing this hand-crafted bag of sea salt, you are helping
the women in a remote village in the Sierra Madre Occidental
Mexico support their families.
Our sea salt is the perfect salt for all your cooking needs.
Our salt imparts the perfect accompanying flavor for the classic
Margarita.
Santa Cruz Chili and Spice CompanySonoran Hot Dogs make the news. National Public Radio did a
story from Tucson on Sonoran Hot Dogs:
"The Sonoran Hotdog Crosses The Border"
"Americans' view of the U.S.-Mexico
border is pretty narrow these days — basically, drugs and
illegal immigrants."
"Of course, there's more than that if you live there.
There's the area's tasty food — Baja California fish tacos,
Tex-Mex fajitas and the newest cross-border concoction: The
Sonoran Hot Dog."
"In Tucson, vendors peddle hot dogs that are wrapped in
bacon, griddled until dog and bacon fuse, garnished with
taco truck condiments and stuffed into split-top rolls."
