Flaky sea salt with New Zealand's famous dia- mond shaped crystals is dried carefully to ensure a burst of flavor that makes even the sweetest treats taste even sweeter. New Zealand has always produced some of the world's finest products since its discovery by Dutch navigator Abel Tas- man in 1642. Anxious to share New Zealand's finest products with American consumers, Pacific Resources Interna- tional Inc. (PRI) was the first to introduce Manuka honey to the U.S. more than 30 years ago and today offers a diverse array of premium-quality culinary, wellness and beauty products direct from New Zealand. In addition, PRI, which continues to be a family-owned business committed to product excellence, now boasts America's largest se- lection of quality tested Manuka honey to guarantee that consumers enjoy only authentic, high-quality honey. Moreover, PRI's Pacific Sea Salt is still processed the traditional way from the clean southern seas that sur- round New Zealand and dried naturally by the sun and wind for 12 to 13 months to produce a complete salt with all the natural trace elements that Mother Nature intended for a healthy lifestyle. Because of its natural balance of trace elements, this sea salt is sweet and rich, lacking in bitterness and decidedly better than traditional table salt.
