Maine Cherry Wood Smoked Sea Salt

Our local salt farmer has done it again with this smoked salt. We asked Clayton for a smoked salt that was fine-textured with a mild crunch and deeply flavored. Our standards for this sea salt were rigorous, our palates particular. With great skill and patience (and many conversations, tastings, and fine-tuning with us), Clayton created a beautiful new product - our very own Maine Cherry Wood Smoked Sea Salt.

This is a custom smoked sea salt blend, made exclusively for SALT TRADERS using cherry wood and unique smoking techniques. We were looking for a fine-grained cherry wood smoked sea salt to balance our current family of soft-textured Guava Wood Smoked Sea Salt and big-flavored, crunchy Danish Viking Smoked Sea Salt.

We worked toward a smoked salt with a clean richness, without a trace of bitterness or harshness. We love this smoked salt with all its characteristics and nuances. Its rich caramel color impresses you first. Then you are drawn in by the Maine Cherry Wood Smoked Salt's complex scent of smoke with touches of tobacco, cigar boxes, a cozy fireplace in winter. We are amazed by its touch of stickiness like soft brown sugar on coffeecake.

Spend some time in the kitchen with this smoked salt and experiment with it as a finishing salt on meats, poultry, seafood, eggs, rice, potatoes, vegetables, and fruit. Try Maine Cherry Wood Smoked Sea Salt as well on ice cream and chocolate or caramel sauces. And don't forget to rim you next glass of ale or dark rum cocktail. We think you will be pleased with your results.
