Emile Henry Salt Pig

Emile Henry Salt Pig

ARCHIVE #65

Put this piggy on your countertop for seasoning dishes during cooking. This French-made salt pig has a non-glazed interior that stops your sea salt from sticking together, while the glazed exterior can withstand the daily kitchen splashes. While salt pigs have been in style for centuries, the name is still disputed. Some say it relates to the round, snout-like opening, while others link it to the old Scottish word for an earthenware jar–pig.
