Natural-flake Salt
Cargill Salt is the only manufacturer of the exclusive Alberger‚ brand of salt. Since 1886, the same technique has been used to produce pure, unaltered natural-flake salt crystals. Rapid solubility makes the salt a natural for topping products because it leaves no gritty aftertaste. Its white crystalline flakes improve the appearance of the finished product and deliver an unmatched burst of flavor you can count on every time. — Cargill Salt, ph: (888) 385-7258, www.cargillsalt.com
