About this product
Asin Tinipak is the versatile, "broken" counterpart to Bohol's world-tamous Asin Tibuok. Handcrafted using an ancient, labor-intensive filtration process involving seawater and coconut husk ash, this artisanal sea salt offers a complex, smoky, and slightly sweet mineral profile.
Product Highlights
The Flavor: A unique "smoky-earthy" taste derived from days of boiling in clay pots over wood fires.
The Texture: Comes in irregular, glass-like shards (fragments) that provide a satisfying crunch and a concentrated burst of flavor.
The Process: Created using the same heritage methods as the
"Unbroken Salt," but harvested in fragments —making it more practical for everyday gourmet use.
• Sustainable Heritage: Choosing Tinipak supports the salt-makers (Asinderos) of Alburquerque, Bohol, helping to preserve a pre-colonial craft that was once on the brink of extinction.
Best Used For:
Finishing Salt: Sprinkle over grilled wagyu, scallops, or roasted vegetables.
Desserts: A perfect contrast for dark chocolate, salted caramel, or champorado.
Cocktails: Ideal for rimming glasses to add a smoky depth to margaritas or palomas.
