  SALT-BAKED MEAT
“Carne in crosta di sale”

Turn your average meat into something truly special with this traditional Italian cooking method. Salt-baking is achieved by surrounding a cut of meat with a thick layer of salt mixture. In the oven, the salt forms a tight seal around the meat which helps cook the food in an even and gentle manner. All of the flavor and juices get trapped in the salt shell.
