    Applewood Cold-Smoked Sea Salt

    Regular Price $18.95

    Sweet Wood-Fired Flavor. Zero Artificial Shortcuts. 

    Step away from the bitter, artificial taste of liquid smoke. Our in-house culinary team believes that true flavor takes time, technique, and authentic ingredients.

    Our Applewood Cold-Smoked Sea Salt starts with premium, all-natural sea salt slowly cold-smoked over real, untreated Applewood. By carefully managing the airflow and maintaining low temperatures (cold-smoking), it prevents the salt crystals from breaking down. Instead, the salt acts like a sponge, naturally absorbing the sweet, fruity, and mild smoke profile of the burning fruitwood. The result is a beautifully balanced, savory-sweet flavor that perfectly complements lighter meats and vegetables.

    Ingredients:

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

     

    Grain Size Usage:

    • Fine Grain: This is your secret ingredient. Dissolves rapidly into marinades, BBQ sauces, and glazes, or use it as a foundational layer in a sweet-and-smoky pork dry rub.

    FAQs

    Light, slightly sweet, and faintly fruity. Applewood is the gentlest of our four smoked salts. The smoke is present but not assertive. It adds complexity without competition. If you've been hesitant about smoked salts because you find heavy smoke overwhelming, Applewood is the right starting point.

    Hickory is bold, assertive, and bacon-forward, the classic American BBQ smoke. Applewood is mild, sweet, and gently fruity. They're designed for different applications: Hickory for beef, bold BBQ, and strong-flavored dishes; Applewood for pork, seafood, cocktails, desserts, and anything where you want smoke as a finishing whisper rather than a statement.

    Yes, and it's one of our most popular applications for this salt. Applewood's light, sweet smoke creates a genuinely interesting rim for margaritas, mezcal cocktails, and whiskey sours. The sweetness complements citrus, the smoke adds intrigue. Our customers specifically mention the margarita rim application in reviews.

    Yes. The sweet, fruity character of Applewood makes it one of the few smoked salts that works on desserts. Try it on salted caramel sauce, dark chocolate bark, apple tarts, or smoked caramel ice cream. A small pinch is usually enough, the smoke flavor concentrates quickly on sweet foods.

    Pork (its traditional wood pairing), cocktail rims, seafood, cheese (aged cheddar, gouda), desserts with caramel or chocolate, apple and pear preparations, and roasted squash. For beef and bold BBQ applications, Hickory or Alderwood will give you more appropriate smoke intensity.

    No. Our Applewood Cold-Smoked Sea Salt is 100% naturally smoked. It goes through a specialized cold-smoking process that exposes pure sea salt crystals directly to the smoke of burning Applewood. There are zero artificial flavors, liquid smoke sprays, or chemical colorants used in our facility.

    Absolutely. Authentic, naturally smoked salt is a massive differentiator for commercial BBQ, snack brands, and sauce manufacturers. You can purchase in bulk directly on this page with free shipping on orders up to 400lbs or contact our customer service team for orders over 400lbs to coordinate freight.

    To ensure maximum freshness and the fastest possible delivery, our salt is rigorously inspected, packaged, and shipped from our culinary headquarters in Southwest, Missouri.

    We have been ordering this salt from Amazon for a while. Lately the cherrywood large bags have not been available on Amazon, so I went directly to the source! I’m so glad I did. I love their salt and the shipment was very prompt. I think I will be ordering all of our salt directly from them for now on!

    This is the most flavorful salt I have ever tasted, no other salt can compare to this one. The applewood smoked flavor is so intense which makes a perfect flavor enhancer for any food you want to add a little extra flavor to. I highly recommend this salt to anyone.

    Looking for the best smoked salt

    I was looking for a mild smoked flavor and yours is to bold for me. I am in the process of finding the right mix of plain salt and smoked to find that perfect taste.

    I miss it when it's gone

    I didn't realize how much I love this salt til it was gone.
    It lasted a long time and maintained the flavor and aroma.
    I use it instead of meat and chicken/beef stock to add zing to cooked and raw dishes.

    I'm replacing it right away.

    Smells and tastes fantastic.

    "Smells and tastes fantastic. I used this for sous vide ""Barbeque"" which is very tender but lacks on smoky flavor. This salt adds a really nice touch."

    I put it into a regular salt shaker and keep it on the table as a fine condiment. I also shake it...

    The salt is fine-grained and smells divine. I put it into a regular salt shaker and keep it on the table as a fine condiment. I also shake it over raw burger meat. Great product.
