A versatile blend of finely ground Italian sea salt with aromatic herbs from Tuscany by Antica Macelleria Cecchini in Chianti. Its greatness lies in its masterful blend, the quality of its ingredients, and its ability to transport you to Tuscany with just a sprinkle, embodying Cecchini's philosophy of bold, harmonious flavors.

So flavorful that only a small amount is needed to significantly enhance a dish. Most notably used on Tuscany's famous Bistecca Fiorentina. Made in Italy
As comfortable quoting a triplet from Dante's inferno as seasoning and grilling a Bistecca alla Fiorentina, Cecchini follows a 250 year-old family tradition of the Italian macelleria (butcher shop). Known for promoting high-quality, traditional meat preparation and local food systems his herbal salt is an ever-present seasoning custom blended and made on site in Panzano, Chianti halfway between Florence and Siena.
