Black lava sea salt originates from the volcanic island of Maui, Hawaii, and is made by combining sea salt with activated charcoal, which gives it its signature black color. This exotic ingredient is visually stunning and has a deep, earthy flavor with a subtle hint of smokiness that can elevate any dish.
 
The history of black lava sea salt dates back to ancient Hawaiian traditions, where it was used as a ceremonial salt, believed to have healing properties. Today, it is highly prized by chefs around the world for its unique flavor and striking appearance.
 
One of my favorite ways to use black lava sea salt is in my recipe for grilled scallops with black lava sea salt and lemon butter sauce. The scallops are seared to perfection and finished with a sprinkle of black lava sea salt and a drizzle of tangy lemon butter sauce. The contrast of the saltiness with the acidity of the lemon creates a burst of flavor in every bite.
