The ARCTO salt and pepper shaker keeps moisture-sensitive herbs and spices permanently fresh

Opens with a “Click”. The valuable essential oils of the herbs and spices cannot escape. Salt doesn’t clump. If coarser herbs and spices are desired, the head of the shaker can be easily removed. Opening in your luggage is practically impossible due to the patented closing-mechanism. Ideal for on the road, hand crafted with traditional Swiss precision. Fourteen individual parts, all assembled manually.

We are getting our Alpine salt from Sel de Bex, a Swiss company, which is looking back to a 400 years old tradition. When the sea retreated from Switzerland some two hundred million years ago, it left behind a valuable gift: salt. Sealed in the rock when the Alps were formed, the seams of salt at Bex have retained their unrivalled original purity. Extracted from this rocky mantel and dissolved by spring water from our glaciers, Sel des Alpes has retained its mineral richness. (Source www.selbex.com/en/)

Peppercorns, and the ground pepper, may be described simply as pepper, or more precisely as black pepper, green pepper and white pepper. The spiciness of black pepper is due to the chemical piperine, not to be confused with the capsaicin that gives fleshy peppers theirs. Dried ground pepper has been used since antiquity for both its flavour and as a traditional medicine. (Source en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pepper)
