It’s salt bro
Same company, one product from Rheinfelden, the other from Bex.
You have to be careful, one is salt, the other sugar.
Probably chemically identical.
Unless there’s a specific reason not to (such as using it for lacrosse-fermenting vegetables), I buy the one with added iodine and fluoride (which in this case, the alpine salt doesn’t have).
Sel des Alpes has less NaCl, for those with diet restrictions
Those once were two different companies, now they’re both brands under Schweizer Salinen AG (with different places of production, as a sibling comment noted).
Fun fact, a much bigger part of what they produce ends up on the streets to thaw ice, instead of dinner plates for food.
Nope
Here is the official list of ingredients:
* **Sel des Alpes**: Sodium chloride (NaCl) – 99.8%. Iodine (added as potassium iodide, KI) – 25 mg/kg. Fluoride (F⁻) – 250 mg/kg. Anti-caking agent E536 ([Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻) – max. 6 mg/kg
* **Sel de Cuisine**: Sodium chloride (NaCl) – 99.8%. Iodine (added as potassium iodide, KI) – 25 mg/kg. Fluoride (F⁻) – 250 mg/kg. Anti-caking agent E536 ([Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻) – max. 5 mg/kg
Until about 2015, it was illegal to sell Sel des Alpes outside Vaud (unless it was exported) and it was illegal to sell JuraSel in Vaud. That was because of the salt tax, that the merged company – Schweizer Salinen – still pays to the cantons and Liechtenstein.
I only buy from Coop.
Bex is an old fashion way of mining salt , the rheinfleden one dont require digging under a montain and is much cheaper to produce. to keep bex in production they merged both and fixe the price more or less
I was a project manager upgrading the crystallizer for the blue package (Rheinfelden)
That’s why I always buy from Bex 😂😂😂
