    Alderwood Cold-Smoked Sea Salt

    Regular Price $8.95

    Authentic Wood-Fired Flavor. Zero Artificial Shortcuts. 

    Let’s clear the air: most "smoked" salts on the market are just standard salt sprayed with artificial liquid smoke. Our culinary team keeps things authentic. 

    Our signature Alderwood Cold-Smoked Salt starts with pure, pristine sea salt that is slowly cold-smoked over real, untreated Pacific Northwest Alderwood. By meticulously controlling the airflow and keeping the temperature low (cold-smoking), it prevents the salt crystals from degrading while allowing the rich, sweet, and savory wood smoke to bind naturally to the salt. The result is an intense, authentic campfire flavor that transforms ordinary meals into culinary masterpieces.

    Ingredients:

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

     

    Grain Size Usage:

    • Fine Grain: Your everyday flavor enhancer. Dissolves rapidly, making it the perfect secret ingredient for BBQ dry rubs, marinades, sauces, and hearty chili.

    • Coarse Grain: Formulated for texture and finishing. Ideal for loading into a salt mill, creating a robust crust on a brisket, or adding a smoky crunch to grilled salmon.

    Want to learn more about grain sizes? Read our Gourmet Salt Guide in the Flavor Lab.

     

    The SF Salt Cold-Smoked Standard:

    • 100% Real Smoke: Smoked over natural Alderwood. No liquid smoke, no dyes, no artificial flavors.

    • Balanced Profile: Alderwood provides a sweet, subtle, and savory smoke that pairs perfectly with salmon, pork, and roasted vegetables.

    • Clean Label Promise: Kosher Certified, Organic compliant, non-GMO compliant, Gluten-free, BPA-free, Free of PFAS, non-bioengineered, Allergen-free, and Pesticide-free

    • Zero Additives: Contains no additives, carriers, processing aids, and preservatives

    • Kosher Certified: Meets strict dietary and technical compliance standards.

    • Validated Quality: Sourced, processed, and packaged to SQF Food Safety and Quality code standard

    FAQs

    Cold-smoked sea salt is made by exposing sea salt to real wood smoke at low temperatures for an extended period. The cold-smoking process allows the smoke aromatics to penetrate the salt crystals without cooking them or altering their texture. The result is a salt that carries genuine smoke flavor. Our Alderwood Cold-Smoked Sea Salt is made with real Pacific Northwest Red Alderwood, the same wood used in traditional Pacific Northwest salmon smoking.

    Alderwood produces a mild, slightly sweet smoke, clean and gentle, traditionally associated with Pacific Northwest seafood and salmon. Hickory is bolder, more assertive, and bacon-forward, the classic American BBQ smoke. If you want a smoked salt that enhances without dominating, choose Alderwood. If you want a big, unmistakable BBQ smoke statement, choose Hickory.

    Real wood smoke, always. San Francisco Salt Company never uses liquid smoke or artificial smoke flavoring in any of our smoked salts. The salt is cold-smoked over actual Pacific Northwest Red Alderwood in a controlled smoking process, not sprayed, not flavored, not treated with smoke compounds.

    For dry rubs, Fine grain distributes more evenly across the protein's surface, ensuring consistent smoke flavor in every bite. Coarse is better for finishing, sprinkling over a finished dish or using in a grinder at the table, where you want concentrated smoke hit and visible crystal texture.

    Alderwood pairs best with seafood (especially salmon and oysters), white and pink meats (pork, chicken), eggs, and root vegetables. Its mild sweetness also works well with cocktail rims and popcorn. For beef brisket and bold BBQ, Hickory will give you more smoke impact.

    Yes! Authentic 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.

    This is my third (maybe fourth?) time buying the alderwood smoked salt. i LOVE this stuff. It’s delightfully smoky without being overpowering and gives soups and stews a complex note without it necessarily tasting smoke.

    Love it love it love it. A must try.

    ADDICTED TO ALDERWOOD SMOKED SALT!

    Have been an Alderwood Smoked Salt customer for many years, I use it on pretty much everything that you would typically season with table salt...grilled steaks, chicken, fish, cedar plank salmon, grilled veggies...
    do not even have a table salt shaker in my kitchen!
    We are in MI but still use our outdoor grill all winter for 95% of our meals.
    Have not found a vegetable that does taste better grilled!...try 2" slab of green cabbage or sweet potatoe split in half with Alderwood Smoked Salt! YUM!
    OXO makes a great white handled salt grinder that is easy to fill and easy to adjust the grind as needed so I usually purchase the coarse grind salt.
    LOVE to give the grinders and smoked salt as gifts to my cooking friends and family.

    Perfect accent

    I create and sell a line of seasoning blends at local farmers markets. Alderwood Smoked Sea Salt is the perfect accent for two of my blends. I take great pride in my seasoning blends and insist on top quality. San Francisco Salt Company provides the consistent quality I require along with the product availability and price necessary for me to create and sell my seasoning blends. SFSalt Co has become my sole source for all the salt I use.

    Wonderful Flavor

    While I am not a salt connoisseur per se, I definitely have experienced a number of salts, and was looking for a good smoked one. I had tried Hickory in a couple different brands, and also Mesquite. Anyway when I tried Alderwood from the San Francisco salt company, I knew I had found what I really loved. Yes, I use the others for some things, but this Alderwood one is my regular “go to one.” It’s also great sometimes to combine different flavors and come up with your own custom blend. I did need to touch bases with the company at one point, and customer service was great.

    Empty serving dish every time

    Fantastic product. I have added the alderwood smoked sea salt to my collection of favorite spices, it’s now competing with my black garlic salt as number 1. My newest smoked candied carrots is now requested at every holiday by my family. Couldn’t make it with out your salt. Thank you!

    For a heady smokey flavor, try this.

    This has such a lovely smokey taste that you can smell as soon as you open the bag. It's delicious on sliced tomatoes with a little pepper.

    Great flavor!

    I had been wanting to try smoke sea salt and after reading several reviews, I purchased a glass shaker of the alderwood kind. It's amazing. The depth of flavor ir adds to meats, roasted veggies, eggs, or anything else is wonderful. We used up the shaker and I had to order a bag so it could be refilled!

    Jazz Up Those Grilled Foods

    This is the best seasoning for grilling with, hands down. You need nothing else except a good piece of meat and this salt to make a quick and divine dinner. It has just the right level of smokiness, and a happily unique flavor profile. It tastes like a high-end summer cookout, and is far quicker and cleaner than almost anything else you could buy to throw on your food to capture that experience. Highly recommend it.

    Really pleasant Smokey taste. Am very much enjoying experimenting with it. So far---A great twist on oysters in the half shell, and on chicken, both fried and grilled.

    This is wonderfully seasoned salt. This is my second order. My single favorite use is on steaks before grilling. I use only this salt and some black pepper and my steaks are awesom

    Try it; you'll like it

    I love smoked sea salt, and this is a very good one at a good price. I use it to add smokiness to the vegan recipes I cook, such as three-bean chili, spicy pinto-bean hummus, and barbecued soy curls. Really, it's wonderful in any savory recipe that calls for salt.

    Intoxicating

    This is what I'd imagine heaven to taste like. The smell of a campfire in a bag is intoxicating. I am a lover of gourmet salts, & this is by far, the best I've purchased yet. I cannot wait to use it in potato salad.

    "So yummy, I put this on everything now. If it needs salt, it needs a touch of smoke too! Makes scrambled eggs special. Also a great ""secret ingredient"" so your recipe tastes just a little better than the next cook's. Alderwood Smoked Sea Salt is a great inexpensive gift too. I like giving it as a housewarming gift with a cute little salt cellar or shaker. Add it to a personalized gift basket. This salt has been a delightful discovery."
