Sal de Ibiza - the tradition of hand-harvested salt
Sal de Ibiza is sea salt harvested by hand in the traditional way from the salt pans on the island of Ibiza, by a method that has been used there for centuries. Unlike industrially produced salt, it retains a coarser structure and its natural mineral content, which gives it a subtly different taste from ordinary table salt.
Carmencita hot paprika is a basic ingredient of genuine Spanish chorizo - without it you will not achieve the flavour of the classic home-made cured sausage.
