    Rich Wood-Fired Flavor. Zero Artificial Shortcuts. 

    The secret to unforgettable BBQ isn't found in a bottle of liquid smoke. At San Francisco Salt Company, 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 and slowly cold-smoke it 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

     

    The Science of Grain:

    • 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.

    • Coarse Grain: Designed for finishing, texture, and visual appeal. Perfect for loading into a ceramic salt mill, creating a robust, smoky crust on roasted duck, or adding a savory crunch to roasted root vegetables.

    • 100% Real Cherrywood Smoke: A naturally rich, smooth, and fruity smoke profile. No liquid smoke, no chemical dyes, no artificial additives.

    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, but Cherrywood is more complex and aromatic, while Applewood is lighter and more neutral. Cherrywood 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 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.
