It has been present on the traditional Bulgarian table for centuries.History and secrets of the Bulgarian herbal salt: This spice is the greatest Bulgarian culinary sentiment. It is no coincidence that when Bulgarians welcome guests to their house, the tradition is to do it with a piece of bread dipped in herbal salt. It is a breeze of childhood, a taste that we have grown up with for generations, many generations. We associate nothing as strongly with Bulgaria in terms of cuisine. Many Bulgarians abroad, by putting a jar of colored salt in their suitcase, also pack a piece of the past, of their homeland, of their family.There is no home without colored salt and every home has its own recipe for the unique combination of spices. Ratio, types, technology – everything is so specific to each home recipe.Main ingredients of the Bulgarian herbal salt mix:Savory – the Bulgarian spice. Savory is an aromatic low shrub of the mint genus (Lamiaceae), to which it owes its strong pungent smell and taste. We distinguish two types of savory – garden and Balkan, with the garden savory used as a spice. It is harvested during or shortly after flowering, in the summer. It is cut directly above the ground, strung on a rope under the shade, in a ventilated place and when completely dry, it is ground well. Savory gives the patterned salt a characteristic Bulgarian and delicious smell.Fenugreek – the most characteristic spice for the patterned salt. It is distinguished by a mild taste and is obtained from the green parts of the plant. They are dried on paper, in a dry, shady and ventilated place, they can even be covered with cheesecloth, so as not to get dusty. Another spice is made from fenugreek seeds, called cumin, which is very popular in India and the Arab world. Fenugreek is characterized by a soft, grassy smell that complements the sharpness of savory, but which should be allowed to prevail.Red pepper - has many health benefits. When they begin to ripen, peppers are selected that are not very fleshy, without spots or injuries. They are strung with a needle on a long string, and it is important that the peppers do not touch each other. They are dried in the same way, and it is optimal to collect them in the evening so that they do not get wet during the night. When the peppers become brittle, they are removed from the strings, crushed coarsely, without the seeds, and ground in a machine. Red pepper gives sweetness to the colored salt.Samardala - a plant from the Onion family. A classic for colored salt, which is very difficult to detect in the overall taste, but whose absence is very easy to feel. It may still be salted during drying, and then adding salt to the patterned salt makes no sense, but it is better to let it dry without salt. Because of the samardala, it is not recommended to process the patterned salt in culinary ways. If you are used to toasting slices directly with patterned salt or adding it to cakes, it is better not to add samardala - it changes its taste. It gives the patterned salt a sharp spicy taste that you will not mistake. How to use: Mainly used for sprinkling on bread, cheeses, potatoes and various vegetables. As a seasoning for cooking, it is added shortly before removing from the heat. The mix has a very pleasant, specific taste and aroma, which is mainly due to fenugreek. To enrich the taste of the colored salt mix, savory and red pepper are added, as well as other traditional leafy spices. *****Made in Bulgaria*****
