"Icelandic flake salt from the Saltverk Reyjaness in the Icelandic Westfjords has a fantastic crispy crunch, clean mild flavour and good aftertaste.
The black colour comes from activated charcoal, resembling the Icelandic black lava and referring to the use of environmentally friendly geothermal energy in the drying process." http://www.urta.is

Icelandic Black Lava Salt
Upon returning to Britain, we went food shopping and I could not resist some really gorgeous looking plump and fresh scallops.
How to dress them up, though? Really good scallops need little more than flash frying in butter and eating ...
... but, we were having an evening of spicy Mexican-inspired food and it really should tie-in somehow. Easy! Chilies, lime juice and a garnish of coriander. Perfect for the fire! Icelandic salt sprinkled over for the ice.
The black, green and white we'd enjoyed some much as the landscape of Iceland.
