Web Chef Review: Drogheria Sea Salt with Red Wine

Posted By on Aug 22, 2013 in Cooking Shows, Featured, Food Finds, Great Cooking Products, Product Reviews, Reviews, What I Say About Food, Wine Tasting and Recipe | 2 comments

This salt is an interesting one… Drogheria Sea Salt with Red Wine is certainly a conversation piece because it’s purple in color from the addition of red wine to the salt. When it is ground, in the heavy duty spice grinder Drogheria packages this salt in, it is a lighter purple color, but will stand out on light colored food.
