Black Truffle Sea Salt

Black truffle sea salt is a finishing salt: a pinch at the table, not in the pan, so the truffle scent reaches the plate rather than the stovetop. This one is made from the farms' own fresh black truffle, Tuber melanosporum, combined with pyramid flake sea salt from the Loddon Plains in Victoria. The maker says it is made without artificial flavours or additives.

It comes from two farming families in the Pemberton region, Western Australia, who planted more than 2,000 hazelnut and oak trees as hosts for black truffle, which grows underground. Five truffle dogs find it across both properties.

A small pinch is the usual rule: try it over scrambled eggs, buttered pasta, mashed potato, hot chips, or a steak while it rests.
