Himalayan salt The Himalayan Mountain Range in the Indian subcontinent is the largest mountain range in the world and home to nine of the ten highest peaks on Earth. About 200 million years ago, there were crystallized sea salt beds within this mountainous region that were covered with lava. Because this salt was subsequently enveloped in snow and ice for millennia, it was protected from modern day pollution and preserved in an untouched and pristine environment. Many people believe that this pink salt is the purest salt that can be found on the planet providing over 84 trace minerals and essential elements. The chefs at Caribou Lakes are proud to include such a healthy alternative to regular salt.

Premium Grass-Fed New Zealand Butter Not all Grass Fed Butters are the same. Only in New Zealand where the grass is natural and green year round do the dairy cows benefit from such a natural diet unlike some other “Grass Fed” butters where the cows only consume grass part of the year. In addition, the New Zealand government prohibits the use of animal growth hormones in dairy, sheep, and beef cattle so the butter is rBST-Free. The cows that produce the milk for the butter are free range pasture raised, living naturally under humane living conditions which makes for stress free cows and a butter quality dairy. Butter from stress free, grass fed cows is proven to be higher in Omega 3, Beta Carotene, and Vitamin A making for not only a healthier butter but a butter richer in taste. This extraordinary quality makes our butter better that is enjoyed by chefs and consumers everywhere.

Sea Salt The world’s oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surfaces and is a great supply of salt. Sea Salt, also known as bay salt, is produced by the process of evaporation of salt water bodies. It is darker in color as compared to the refined table salts due to the absorption of essential minerals from the clay lining the body of water from where it is harvested. Unlike refined salts, the preparation of sea salt usually includes very little processing so retains it moisture and minerals and is free from iodizing, bleaching and diluting with anticaking agents. At Caribou Lakes we understand that when it comes to health, every little ingredient counts.
