Smoked salt
Smoked salt
Smoked salt is salt treated with smoke or sometimes smoke flavouring, sold as crystals, flakes or granules and used when saltiness and smoky character are wanted.
About Smoked salt
Smoked salt is edible salt that has been exposed to smoke, commonly from burning wood, to give it a smoky aroma and flavour. It is usually sold as crystals, flakes or granules, and its colour can range from white to tan or brown depending on the salt and smoking process. Crystal size and texture vary by product.
It is used as a seasoning, either at the table or during cooking, when a smoky note is wanted along with saltiness. Products differ in salt source, crystal size, wood used and intensity of smoke; some salts described as smoked may use flavouring rather than direct smoking, so the label and formulation matter.
