Salted Sips — How Salt Is Elevating Lattes All Over Town

Do you take cream or sugar…or salt? It might sound like a joke, but these days, a pinch of salt is the finishing touch on some of the most interesting lattes around town. Considering flavor chemistry, it makes perfect sense. Salt is known in the culinary world for balancing bitterness, enhancing sweetness, and deepening flavor. So when you combine the bite of espresso with the sweetness of syrups and foamed milk, a little salinity is sure to create a sharper, more satisfying experience for the taste buds. Here are a few of our favorite salted lattes in the Nashville area!
