What is a Salt Mill?
A salt mill is a grinder designed specifically for large grained salts that need to be ground for culinary use. In the 1990s, many consumers began to experiment with unique salts in their foods like Brittany Fleur de Seul, Himalayan Sea Salt, and Black Salts. Trace minerals in these salts seem to have an impact on the flavor, and the different colors certainly make them conversation pieces, but most of them require a salt mill to be used, as they are thick and chunky. As a result, many companies began to specially develop grinders for the unique challenge that these types of salt presented.
