Gourmet salts are used in cuisines that demand extravagance and appeal. Gourmet cooks use these salts as seasoning and dressing. Gourmet salts are used as enhancers of texture, appeal and taste, as against to simply blending with the food giving an everyday-flavor. These salts have better solubility, exotic flavor, moisture, and higher mineral content. The increasing living standard of the consumers and globalization of the food & beverage industry has led to the rise in the demand of gourmet salts. The gourmet salts are more expensive than table salt as the expenses required for various stages of harvesting, packaging, labeling, merchandising, and marketing are higher. These salts are also infused with herbs, spices and flavors such as garlic, onion, chili, paprika, pepper, and so on.
The increasing application of gourmet salts in traditional cuisines is one of the driving factors of the market.
