Alberger brand salt is the only high-purity, food-grade, natural flake salt, the vendor claims. Its unique shape, increased surface area and low-bulk density combine to offer a measurable advantage in terms of blendability, adherence, solubility and absorption. Alberger salt is available in a wide range of grades and screen sizes, a variety of anticaking and conditioning agents, or additive free.

Grillin' flavors
After discovering striking differences between what is available and what really authenticates the grilling experience, the vendor developed three new flavor systems. The Grillin' 5400 Series has a chargrilled flavor identified with vegetables finished on the grill. An integral part of the Grillin' 5600 Series is "umami," to complement white meat products such as chicken, turkey and pork. The Grillin' 5800 Series has darker roast, caramelized, smoky, and chargrilled notes. Samples are available.
