The Vanilla salt was received well at the Aspen Food and Wine Classic. In fact, many people asked us where they could buy the salt in the future. The salt was distributed in tins with our logo, the description, and our Keyah Grande web address. We made one mistake: we used tins. Unfortunately, those who do not use the salt in the immediate future will notice a decomposition of the lid of the tin. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please feel free to transfer the salt to a plastic bag, which will not react with the salt. You will then be able to keep the vanilla salt indefinitely. The tin made sense for aesthetics and distribution; we just did not consider long-term storage. In the future, we hope to see the larger picture.
