Pangasinan sea salt (Ilocano asin)

(Pangasinan sea salt)

Ilocano asin is a type of sea salt that originates from the pure seawaters of Pangasinan in the Philippines. It is a moist, naturally white sea salt that offers bright, clean, and crisp flavors and is enhanced by the presence of underlying minerals, which contribute to a complex and well-balanced taste.


The salt's texture is a unique combination of granular (sal gris) and flake (fleur de sel) crystals, providing a distinct texture that melts quickly on the palate, giving an instantaneous taste. The salt crystals from Pangasinan are hand-harvested and are known for their lush, almost billowy quality, which is likened to an exaggerated version of fleur de sel.


Ilocano asin is versatile in its culinary uses and can be used for grilling, roasting, and finishing, helping to enhance the flavor of both sweet and savory foods.
