These are an awesome addition to my spice rack. I do use some of the different salts on the rim of my at home margs for some interesting flavor profiles.

All good.

These are actually better than I suspected them to be. Each little metal jar has an opening when you twist it, so you can get the right amount of spice for the dish you are making. They are magnetic on the bottom, so when you stack them, they stay stacked. The aroma from each tin is absolutely heaven. For anyone who cooks the way I do, these would be very good.You get six different spices -- Taste of Provence; Lavender Rosemary Sea Salt; French Onion; Crystallized Honey Sea Salt; Blue Cheese Sea Salt; and Taste of Bordeaux. So you are actually getting three different sea salts, and three seasonings. I wanted these for the Taste of Provence, and it did not disappoint. A mild scent, but powerful in taste. I loved the Lavender Rosemary Sea Salt (on fish) and I have not tried the rest, but I suspect that they will be just as good. The price is really very fair for the type of seasonings that you are getting, and the fact that they are in tins and not plastic is a big plus. I would definitely recommend these to other cooks. They would also make a nice gift for those who already cook, or are trying to learn different dishes and cuisines.

I am loving the variety of these seasoning blends, this set brings you a "Taste of France", each spice blend is a perfect mix of dried herbs and spices and can be used to cook French inspired dishes or entrees or just to enhance an already prepared dish. You can smell the freshness as soon as you open the plastic bag they are stored in. The blue cheese seas salt is delicious on a burger as is the French onion seasoning, it turns a plain burger into something special. I am looking forward to checking out some recipes on the brands website for some more great recipes to try. Loving the magnetic containers, they are convenient to stack them up on each other and when I know I will be using them I stick them on my fridge for easy access. Gustus Vitae is mastering these spice blends, not only do they smell and taste great but they look great too.

These arrived in little stainless steel tins with friction fitted lids that have a shaker and a pour opening on the side, you can rotate them around to the business end of the tin to dispense the seasoning, they've also got a big flat fridge magnet on the bottom of them letting them stick together in a stable stack or you can stick them to your stove or fridge or what have you. I'm not sure how air tight they are for the rubs but we'll see in time. The seasonings themselves came in sealed bags.All six of these are winners, especially the blue cheese and crystalized honey salts with the former being like what you'd get on white cheese popcorn and the latter tasting a lot like proper kettle corn. The two rubs are a bid mild but pleasant and likely won't see their full value until they're slow cooked or roasted on a good piece of meat.A great gift set!

I have a bunch of these seasoning gift setts from Gustus Vitae and they're all fantastic! This one is the "Tastes Of France" and, while they're all fresh and tasty, the Blue Cheese Sea Salt really stands out as our favorite in the set! It's *cheff's kiss*!All of the seasonings come sealed in plastic pouches for freshness inside their tins, so you'll need to open each tin up, cut the plastic open, and dump the season blend directly into the tin before using. The tins have a nifty magnetic bottom so that not only do they stick to each other if you want to stack them, but you can stick them onto ANY magnetic surface - even vertical or upside-down! We have a big range hood over our gas range, and I stick all these tins upside down right over the range! That way they're all right there within arm's reach!These would make a great gift for the culinary enthusiast in your life, or collect all the different sets for your own spice collection!

Gustus Vitae Spice blends can add so much variety to your everyday cooking. During the summer when our garden was producing zucchini every day I experimented by seasoning with the different blends. We didn't get tired of eating squash as part of our meals every night because each blend added a distinctive flavor. From the French assortment, our favorite for vegetables was French Onion. Three of the blends were heavier on the sodium content since the first ingredient was sea salt. They are Lavender Rosemary Sea Salt, Crystalized Honey Sea Salt, and Blue Cheese Sea Salt at 330 mg for a 5 g servingFor chicken and fish, our favorites were Taste of Bordeaux and Taste of Provence Dry Rubs. I like that the container labels suggest which foods are complemented by each blend. The containers have magnetic bottoms which I find useful to keep them stacked when not in use. I don't stick them to the refrigerator, stove or grill. I don't find the dispensing holes or slots useful. I take the top off the container, stir it up, and then pinch the mix and sprinkle on the food. This way I am sure I am getting a good mix of all the ingredients.I have tried the Italian, Greek, and French assortments of Gustus Vitae Spice Blends and I like them all.

We discover the Gustus Vitae brand over two years ago. We used their BBQ Grilling Salts ($21.28), Gourmet BBQ Seasonings ($39.99) and the Italian French Countryside Collection ($24.99). The BBQ Seasoning Collection had 6 containers while the other two collections had 3 containers. The containers have expiration dates on the bottom and the containers magnetic so the can be stacked for storage.Now we are trying out the Greek Seasonings, (29.99), French Seasonings ($36.99) and Italian seasonings (29.99). Each set has six containers. The family loves them all. We have made all types of dishes. The Blue cheese salt and the Crystalized honey sea salt are so interesting and have very unique flavors in the French set.
