Gustus Vitae | Ancho Chile Sea Salt | Gourmet Sea Salt & Spice Blend

I'm glad I purchased this order of the ancho chili sea salt because it makes a terrific accompaniment to any kind of meat fried in the skillet on the stove. It brings out the flavor of the meat wonderfully.

The texture is perfect for a margarita rim and tastes awesome. Great quality

It reminded me of the chili powder I used back when I lived in Mexico. My partner cannot handle spicy at all but loved this powder. We definitely enjoyed it on our fruit with some lime. She is making me buy more, since she had most of it even though I got it for myself XD

We all need salt. This is a good standby for the regular thing, especially for SW cooking, but something that works with Indian and other bastardized Asian cuisines, as well. (I break all the spice rules in the kitchen, to my wife's dismay.)

I was afraid that this salt might be a bit too hot, but it isn't. It tastes REALLY good!

I saw this salt used on a cooking show and it was used for making Mexican Street Corn and WOW! It is awesome! I appreciate the authentic tastes I remember visiting Mexico several times. I also used it to salt the rim of a Bloody Mary glass and my guests are pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the taste. I highly recommend it for quality dishes.

These make great presents for anyone who likes to try new seasonings when they cook - I keep lots of flavors on hand because I never know what I will need from one day to the next - at these prices, I can stock up on a budget - these are great spices, full of flavor

The spice arrived in a fairly reasonable time but when it was delivered the plastic bubble pac had what appeared to be a rough slice along about 2/3 of one of the side seams of the envelope. The salt comes in a nice magnetic tin dispenser that has a diameter of approximately 2 1/2" . Unfortunately the slit in the envelope is about 9" . The tin itself is not in a sealed package. The lid just slides right off. The salt itself comes in a small sealed plastic bag that had a small hole that had allowed a bit of salt to leak out. I like the tin but I don't feel comfortable these days using spice that arrived in an unsealed container shipped in an envelope that appears to be sliced open & not just accidentally torn, thus the low rating. I have no idea of either the taste or quality of the salt.
