Their interest and education in the subject began during the eight years they owned Cooking School of Aspen, which they opened in 1998, and which continues to attract the finest culinary talents from around the world. Three years ago, the school hosted the talents and expertise of Colman Andrews, editor-in-chief of SAVEUR Magazine. Colman sampled the school's Danish Viking-Smoked Sea Salt, was taken with its flavor and its history, and, in the April 2002 issue of SAVEUR, and introduced it to home and restaurant kitchens across the country. As a result, cooks began to look to Cooking School of Aspen for its unparalleled collection of specialty salts. In an effort to provide its new customer base the best possible customer service, Rob and Kelly created Salt Traders, the sole focus of which is to seek out and import the finest, most unique salts from around the world, and make them available for purchase.” The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt™ brand of salt is featured in the book, Water & Salt, The Essence of Life by Dr. Barbara Hendel, MD and Peter Ferreira. On their website, they make the connection to the source: “For generations, the people in a remote mountainous area of Pakistan have worked in loving cooperation with Nature through the careful and thoughtful gathering of one of their daily needs; salt. Abundantly available from a salt mine in their community, the local folks have been extracting the mineral-rich salt by hand, without the use of mechanical or explosive techniques. After being brought from beneath the mountain, the salt is hand-selected, hand-crushed and sun dried. This longstanding tradition is in perfect harmony with ours, and Nature’s own values.” American BlueGreen, LLC (the parent company) states that it has been chosen as one of only two companies worldwide to take part in shaping and creating the vision for the local people. As the importer for all English speaking countries, it is important that the Original Himalayan Crystal Salt™ line of products reflects the respect for the culture and values of the community. “We have formed a long-term partnership with the local people to bring together the best that the East and West have to offer and have pledged to preserve the integrity of their traditional mining methodologies. We provide more than jobs; we have given the community the possibility for development and improvement at the local level. There is sufficient salt in the mine to serve many future generation and we have established a close professional and personal relationship with our Pakistani partners to establish manageable rates of growth without overtaxing their production capacity and workforce. We will continue to explore opportunities together for bringing their precious natural commodity to the ever expanding community we serve together.” Solay Solay Inc.

Ionicsalts.com Pat, from Ionicsalts.com, was very nice when we had a chat last week. Driving through the hills of North Carolina, Pat shared her personal experience of health restoration when first exposed to the lamps and candles. She mentioned that she had “many, many tons of salt in transit right now.” Although the company does not have an “about us” section, their explanation of the source is extensive: “Salt crystal products can come from various sources around the globe, but the finest quality salt comes from certain areas and mines within the Himalayan foothills of Pakistan. Discovery of this salt was made around 327 B.C., in the time of Alexander the Great and this material has a long and storied history ranging from a source of bitter warfare to a form of currency and much more. In 1872, the British Empire began industrial mining following the excavation of a main arterial tunnel, directed by Dr. H Warth, a respected British mining engineer. The tunnel allowed direct, easy access to salt deposits and increased production. Today, there are four major salt crystal mines in Pakistan: • Khewra Salt Mines The oldest and largest salt mine in the entire region, Khewra is also a popular tourist attraction. There are over 25 miles of developed length, combining all 18 working levels and divergent tunnels. The salt crystal in this mine varies from dark red, reddish, pink, white, and even transparent. There are places within the mine with stunning bands of alternating colors that, of course, only Nature can create. The thickness of the whole salt layer is cumulatively 150m, between seven individual strata of salt crystal layered in an asymmetrical dome-type of structure. While mining, half of the salt is left as pillars within the many chambers; known as "room-and-pillar" method. Unfortunately, the Khewra mining process involves using explosives, which both causes numerous accidents and safety issues; also destroys the crystalline integrity of the crystal and disrespects the environment. Even more, working and living conditions for miners and their families here are notoriously awful. • • • Kalabagh Salt Mines The Kalabagh mines are found along the Indus River, near the village known as Wanda Kukranwala. One will find 13 different types of salt strata, all colors in various shades. Room-and-pillar method mining is still manually done here with some individual chambers more than than 260 feet in depth! This also happens to be our primary source mine. Warcha Salt Mines The salt deposit in this mine is very crystalline and transparent, making it very popular for fine, edible, flowing salt used for cooking and dining. This occurs as another dome-like structure, although broken, and the salt crystal is white and pink for the most part. Room-and-pillar mining method used here too. Jatta/Bahadurkheil Salt Mines The Jatta salt mines are the youngest of our quartet. According to the geological horizon, it dates to the Tertiary period (26 to 66 million years ago), however there is still some debate to it's exact time of formation. The salt of this mine ranges from white to light/dark gray. These are often considered blue in color; and as lamps, these emit light of a white and purplish color.” Samadhi Trading Company “Deep within the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, the purest salt in the world was formed millions of years.
