The Spice Lab Italian Black Truffle Sea Salt Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!

Basics are the best. When in doubt as to what to serve the in-laws, meat and potatoes invariably comes to mind. What to eat when lunch becomes a bore? Somehow potatoes, in some shape, way, or form, solve the problem. Potatoes are the substance of our culture. Mickey D's has built their reputation on their fries, after Belgium gave us the idea. So naturally, a simple potato, baked, split, and drizzled with olive oil, ( or butter) can be the perfect meal. Add a dusting of Black Truffle Sea Salt from The Spice Lab to that, and you have heaven. The note of truffle adds elegance and a deep abiding flavor to the mix. It satisfies the soul, stifles hunger pangs, and beats Mickey D's by a mile.

It just so happened that this Italian Black Truffle Sea Salt came at just the right time. I was in the mood to grill a turkey burger on my indoor grill, but was tired of all the spices I had in my pantry. I sprinkled a little bit of this salt on each side and voila! It came out wonderfully! I almost wanted to grill another burger right away. I can't wait to try other dishes using this wonderful truffle infused salt. I will definitely purchase more.

The Company

For Christmas 2009, technology entrepreneur Brett Cramer wanted to share his new-found fascination with gourmet sea salts with his family and friends. Enjoying woodworking as well as being an avid gourmet cook, he handcrafted a wooden base out of scrap lumber to hold test tubes filled with exotic sea salts from around the world. The gifts were so popular that he was encouraged to begin offering his sea salt collections for sale – and that was the start of The Spice Lab.

The Spice Lab website quickly expanded as Brett continued to discover new sources and sea salt varieties from throughout the United States and far off locales. From Cyprus Citron Lemon Flake Salt, Bolivian Rose Sunset Salt and Persian Blue Diamond Rock Salt to Hawaiian Bamboo Jade Salt and Pink Himalayan Crystals valued for their therapeutic properties, every offering had a unique taste and tale. 

Throughout 2010, the business grew as the company added an array of smoked sea salts and salt collections and became a direct importer. Ending their dot.com business ownership in January 2011, Brett and his wife Jennifer along with a growing staff now devote their energies full time to building The Spice Lab and its retail distribution.

As a young computer store retailer in the 1980s, Brett took pride in offering the widest selection of every possible type of software, often bringing in games from Europe before they could be found in the United States. With that same desire to give his customers the fullest range of products, The Spice Lab now boasts over 180 different salts from 30 countries, the largest selection of sea salts available from a single source. 

The product line includes 180 jarred sea salts and 17 different Salt Collections – in 4, 6 or 11 test tube sets, each with an American-made, handcrafted wooden base constructed from recycled shipping pallets and other discarded wood. Pepper, peppercorns and spice mixes have been recently added to the company’s offerings which also include salt plates, stones and lamps, salt cellars, spoons, jars and even bath salts.

With the message to “Taste the World of Salt ™”, The Spice Lab brings exotic flavors and intoxicating fragrances to everyone who likes to experiment with foods and discover new taste combinations. Professional chefs and home cooks alike now are using gourmet sea salts to enhance their culinary creations.

The Spice Lab, Inc. is a family-owned business based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company’s extensive line of sea salts are sold in a growing number of gourmet and specialty gift shops, museums and other retail locations as well as online through Amazon.com and at www.thespicelab.com
