Everyone talks about all the fancy salts these days—Maldon this, Jacobsen that—and they are great salts; don’t get me wrong. But the best part is not the flavor. They all taste like salt—and bottled-water branding comes to mind. What makes fancy flake salt awesome is the texture—light, crispy, beautiful, airy crystals that make any dish even better.
