Customer Reviews

Where's the piment d'espelette?1
What a let-down. This is very nice salt, with almost NO piment d'espelette. I've used this type of seasoning before but never this brand. I will not use this brand again. The fleur-de-sel with piment d'espelette that I've used in the past had a vibrant color--the salt tinged ever-so-slightly pink with tiny flakes of fiery red. It had a gorgeous warm flavor that enlivened every dish on which I used it. The stuff I have now is dull brown and tastes the way it looks. I'll be contacting "Nirmala's Kitchen" to seek some sort of compensation for money wasted--unless they can prove this is a fluke I'll never use another one of their products and will encourage my foodie family and friends to avoid them as well.

Salt with "very little" piment d'Espellete2
I bought this blend of salt with piment d'Espellete three times now. the first two times it was outstanding Everybody who tried it was amazed at how it could improve the taste of almost everything. The third time however the proportion of the piment had been drastically reduced. I had to buy a separate bottle of the piment d'Espellete to add to the "blend," that was almost entirely salt. Very dissapointing!
