Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The Mediterranean-Style Sea Salt is made with Îles de la Madeleine sea salt, dried tomato, basil, onion, and garlic. It's a natural fit for grilled vegetables, white meats, homemade pizza, focaccia, and marinades. A pinch in an olive oil vinaigrette and Mediterranean flavours are on your plate.
Yes. Mix the Mediterranean-Style Sea Salt with a drizzle of olive oil and a splash of lemon juice for a quick marinade for chicken, salads, or vegetables. Let it rest at least 30 minutes before cooking or serving. You can also rub it directly onto meat or fish with no added liquid for an aromatic crust as it cooks.
A classic herb blend is just dried herbs — you still have to add salt separately, measure both, and hope the balance works. Alcyon Mediterranean-Style Sea Salt already includes natural Îles de la Madeleine sea salt in the mix, in proportions designed so everything is in balance from the first pinch. It's a complete seasoning, not a combination of two separate ingredients. And because the base is an unrefined, mineral-rich salt, the herbs come through differently — rounder, more generous.
No. Alcyon seasoned salts contain no anti-caking agents, no additives, and no artificial preservatives. That's the nature of pure, untreated sea salt.
Most commercial seasoned salts start with industrially refined salt, then add artificial flavourings, enhancers, or anti-caking agents to mimic flavour. Alcyon seasoned salts start with natural, hand-harvested sea salt from the Îles de la Madeleine — unrefined and mineral-rich — blended with real dried herbs, spices, and ingredients. You'll notice the difference from the first pinch: the flavours are truer, rounder, and they develop with heat instead of fading away.
Alcyon seasoned salts are designed mainly as finishing salts, added just before serving. They also work well during cooking — in marinades, dry rubs, or roasted vegetables. The general rule: use them wherever you'd use your regular salt. A pinch on scrambled eggs, a fish fillet, roasted vegetables, or even a chocolate dessert — each seasoned salt has its own signature pairings, detailed on every product page.
