Zirlion Salt Mill FAQ: Everything You Need to Know

Zirlion is Peugeot’s latest innovation in salt grinding – revolutionizing the way you salt. Each Peugeot salt mill featuring Zirlion is equipped with a cutting-edge Zirconia grinding mechanism, an ultra-resilient material capable of crushing and grinding salt crystals with unmatched strength and precision. Zirlion’s tooth-on-tooth grinding action produces exceptionally fine, powdered salt without the risk of breakage or wear on the mechanism, ensuring consistent performance every time. Beyond its strength, Zirlion is naturally corrosion-resistant, keeping your mill in pristine condition for years to come – and as always, it’s backed by Peugeot’s lifetime guarantee.

Powdered salt is a breakthrough texture made possible by Peugeot’s Zirlion mechanism. Imagine salt refined to a consistency somewhere between superfine sand and powdered sugar – that’s the unique result of Zirlion’s finest grind setting. This ultra-fine salt dissolves and distributes evenly across your dishes, delivering more flavor with less salt and fewer twists of the mill. It’s ideal for anyone looking to control sodium intake or enhance flavor with precision. While Zirlion can grind salt down to a powder, it also easily grinds coarser textures, giving you complete flexibility for any recipe.

The Zirlion mechanism is crafted from zirconia, an advanced ceramic material known for its exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to wear. Unlike traditional ceramics, zirconia is engineered for high-performance applications and is widely used in industries like healthcare, aerospace, and precision engineering. This advanced ceramic construction allows Zirlion to handle years of seasoning without compromise.

Most salt mills on the market use grinding mechanisms made from ceramic, nylon, or stainless steel. Zirlion stands apart thanks to its Zirconia construction, which makes it the most durable salt grinding mechanism available today. Zirconia is impervious to corrosion from salt and moisture, offering unmatched reliability and long-lasting performance in any kitchen.

Zirlion mills are engineered to handle a wide variety of salts, thanks to the strength and corrosion resistance of the Zirconia mechanism. You can confidently grind sea salt, rock salt, and blended salt mixes, as long as the crystal size does not exceed 6mm (¼ inch). For wet salts – such as French gray salt or Pinot Noir salt – a specially designed wet salt mill is necessary, featuring internal paddles to prevent clumping and ensure smooth, consistent grinding.
