▲ Dill Salt For the Curious Cook
The History: Dill has been cultivated for over 5,000 years. Ancient Egyptians used it medicinally. Romans considered it good luck. Vikings carried it across the North Atlantic.
Why It Works: Salt amplifies flavor. Dill adds freshness. Together, they create a seasoning that's bold and bright.
The Connection: Ireland's culinary renaissance draws from emigrants who learned to cook elsewhere. Joanna's Dill Salt represents this: Irish sensibility meets Spanish confidence.
