It's been on FoodTV with Alton Brown. You've seen it in your
gourmet magazines. You've heard of it, but you don't know what
it is, what it's for, or where to get it. We are talking about
smoked
salt, a hot new trend in the gourmet food marketplace.
Imagine being able to have that amazing fresh off the grill
flavor no matter what the weather or season! Essentially smoked
salt, is either sea or kosher salt, that has been saturated with
the flavor of smoke, typically hickory, pecan, apple, or other
flavourful woods. Smoked salt has been around for a very long
time, and it is believed that the tradition began with the
Danish smoking salts during the times of the Viking.
While many smoked salt products on the market are salt that has
been soaked in liquid smoke, or salt that has been combined with
powdered smoke, our Hickory smoked sea and kosher salt is slowly
smoked over a clean burning hickory, maple or apple wood fire,
with absolutely no added artificial smoke, colorants or
flavourings. Over time, the smoke infuses the salt and creates a
mild, but distinct smoked flavor with that hearty aroma of your
favourite BBQ restaurant!
Subtle and yet robust, smoked salt
from Caroline's Rub adds an extra dimension of flavor to
your favourite dishes. It can be used anywhere that you would
normally use salt, and can actually replace that iodized stuff
at the table. Keep in mind that sea salt is a larger grain salt
that will require a grinder, whereas kosher salt is a true
sprinkling salt.
One of our favourite ways to use the salt, is to take the
traditional Tomato-Bocconcini-Basil salad to a whole new level
simply by sprinkling the smoke infused salt over the dish prior
to serving. Also, you can use it to sprinkle over your steak,
pork chop, chowders...anywhere you want to kick up the flavor
factor and add that fresh off the grill flavor.
Try some true smoked
salt today, and we guarantee you won't want to find yourself
without it!
