    Cherrywood Cold-Smoked Sea Salt

    Regular Price $8.95

    Rich Wood-Fired Flavor. Zero Artificial Shortcuts. 

    The secret to unforgettable BBQ isn't found in a bottle of liquid smoke. Our culinary science team believes that true, complex flavor can only be achieved through time, technique, and authentic ingredients.

    Our Cherrywood Cold-Smoked Sea Salt begins with premium pure sea salt slowly cold-smoked over real, untreated Cherrywood logs. By meticulously controlling the airflow and maintaining a cool temperature (cold-smoking), it prevents the salt crystals from degrading. This process allows the salt to naturally absorb the rich, smooth, and distinctly fruity smoke profile of the burning cherrywood. The result is a vibrant, subtly sweet salinity that imparts a stunning depth of flavor to ribs, poultry, and game meats.

    Ingredients:

    Smoked sea salt. This product does not supply Iodide, a necessary nutrient

     

    Grain Size Usage:

    • Fine Grain: The ultimate blending salt. Dissolves rapidly into BBQ sauces, glazes, and marinades, making it the perfect foundational layer for a competition-worthy pork dry rub.

    FAQs

    Fruity, mildly sweet, and aromatic. Cherrywood is more complex than Applewood but less assertive than Hickory. The smoke has a distinctive warmth and a slightly fruity edge that works particularly well with duck, game, chocolate, and pork. The reddish-brown color adds visual drama to any finishing application.

    Both are on the sweeter, milder end of the smoke spectrum. However, Cherrywood is more complex and aromatic, while Applewood is lighter and more neutral. Cherrywood also has a richer, slightly deeper smoke character and a more striking visual color (reddish-brown vs. Applewood's light golden). For desserts and light applications, Applewood; for duck, game, and deeper flavor pairings, Cherrywood.

    Duck and other game birds are the traditional Cherrywood pairing; the fruity smoke complements the richness of the protein beautifully. It also works well on pork ribs, chicken, venison, and smoked salmon. The color contribution to the surface of finished meat is a bonus: Cherrywood adds a mahogany visual quality that makes plated proteins look as good as they taste.

    Yes, and it's one of the most interesting smoked salt and dessert pairings. Cherrywood's fruity, slightly sweet smoke works beautifully on dark chocolate, cherry-based desserts, and salted caramel preparations. A small pinch on a brownie or dark chocolate bark creates a genuinely surprising flavor contrast.

    Two things: flavor and color. The fruit-forward, slightly sweet smoke of Maine Cherrywood is more aromatic and complex than Alderwood's clean mildness and more nuanced than Hickory's bold assertiveness. And the reddish-brown color, from the natural pigments in Cherrywood smoke, makes it the most visually striking salt in our smoked line.

    Absolutely not. Our Cherrywood Cold-Smoked Sea Salt is 100% naturally smoked. It goes through a specialized cold-smoking process that exposes pure sea salt directly to the smoke of burning Cherrywood. We never use artificial flavors, liquid smoke sprays, or chemical colorants.

    Yes. Authentic, naturally smoked salt is a massive competitive advantage for commercial BBQ restaurants, jerky makers, and sauce manufacturers.

    The best smoke seasoning

    I love what the salt does when grilling in or outside. The flavor penetrates the foods better than smoking over cherry chips in a fraction of the time and you don't end up with dried or burnt ends so meats and veggies are juicier. Just the right grain size to rub into the burgers and jazzes ribeyes to a new level. It is a miracle on marbled meats.

    "I love this smoked salt! I wasn't sure at first that I would use it very often because when you open the bag it smells VERY smokey. However, it has enough smoke flavor to add depth and authenticity to oven cooked ""barbecue"", yet is still mild enough to throw on some steaks and lend them a great meatiness without anyone being able to pick out the addition of smoke. Although I use it for pork or steak most often, I have to say one of my favorite uses is in brine for turkey. Our Thanksgivig bird was beyond juicy and flavorful."

    You MUST try the Cherrywood Smoked Sea Salt - it's WONDERFUL!

    I always thought salt was just salt. But I've been expanding my horizons and stumbled across this Cherrywood Smoked Sea Salt from the San Francisco Salt Company. Wow, this is tasty! There is a very wonderful smoky flavor which shines on burgers, fresh veggies, popcorn and so much more. It's not quite as salty as regular salt but it adds a new flavor sensation to everything that I've tried it on. It is made of pure sea salt that is slowly smoked over Maine Cherrywood fire and it makes the taste of your food explode with flavor. I can't adequately describe how good it is. I've used it in all sorts of chicken recipes, on brussel sprouts, cauliflower, rice, corn, burgers, steaks, and roasts. It's my new favorite spice.

    Smoke without the mess!

    Very smoky flavor (just like smelling something in a wood smoker). Excellent on everything. Smoked salt is my newest cooking favorite flavoring. I look forward to trying other products from this company. Might buy a more coarse grind next time for baking/cooking food. The fine is suitable for a table shaker.

    Amazing aroma and flavor. Use it instead of liquid smoke in BBQ sauce, or other condiments. Liven up those veggies. So many uses! Love it.

    My husband is an avid griller/smoker, all year round, shoveling a path from the house to the grill and /or smoker after each snow fall. We have used this smoked salt on a pork roast and grilled chicken so far just this week. It has a wonderful smoky flavor with a slightly sweet undertone. We look forward to experimenting with it in future recipes.

    This stuff is awesome. Sprinkle a little of this on a good tomato slice and I'm a happy man. Wonderful smoky flavor, but not overpowering. Substitute this for plain salt in a soup or chili and it adds another layer of flavor. I will always keep some of this in my house.

    "We used it the day we received it to season a pork roast. My wife is very obsessive about her preparation. She was over the moon with flavor it imparted to ""her"" pork roast. Can't wait to try it other meats and poultry."

    Great on grilled meats

    This is fantastic! It adds a bit of smokiness to meats. We use it on steak, burgers, chicken. I really like the Alderwood Smoked Salt, too but this might edge it out by a bit.

    This stuff is amazing

    Oh man, once I tore this bag open, a wave of smoky aroma whipped through my nose. It was amazing. This stuff is awesome. Use it by itself or add to your own rub (I added to smoked paprika, coarse pepper, brown sugar, ground mustard).

    Wow that's smokie! And delishous!

    I can't get over how much salt can change the whole dish! This smoked salt can give my food the flavor of slow cooking on a grill. I have found so many things to use it with and I will defiantly be asking for family members to visit the sight to get me more of the wonderful smoked salts I can't wait to try next!
