Chef’s Blend Smoked Salt: Complex, Robust Flavor Profile Guide

Discover the Chef’s Blend Flavor Profile

If you’re curious about the unique taste of the Chef’s Blend Smoked Real Salt, you’re in the right place. This smoked salt variety offers a complex and well-rounded smoky seasoning that enhances a wide range of dishes with a rich, layered flavor.

What Makes Chef’s Blend Smoked Real Salt Special?

Chef’s Blend Smoked Real Salt is crafted by smoking unrefined, ancient Real Salt (known as “Nature’s First Sea Salt ®”) for 42 hours using a combination of five different types of wood. This extended smoking process creates a deep, robust flavor profile that is strong yet balanced, making it less intense than the Hickory variant but more complex than single-wood smoked salts.

Flavor Characteristics

  • Well-rounded and robust: The blend delivers a smoky taste that is rich without overpowering.
  • Hints of espresso and cocoa: Subtle notes add depth and complexity to the flavor.
  • Versatile use: Perfect for seasoning everything from asparagus and eggs to your favorite proteins.
This blend is ideal for those who enjoy layering smoky flavors in their cooking or want a smoky salt that complements a variety of dishes without dominating them.

How Chef’s Blend Compares to Other Smoked Salt Flavors

  • Hickory Smoked Salt: Smoked for 30 hours with red alderwood and hickory, it offers a strong smoky flavor that is a little sweet and savory, more intense than Chef’s Blend.
  • Cherry Smoked Salt: Also smoked for 30 hours, this salt combines cherry wood and alderwood to create a smoky, smooth, and slightly fruity flavor, lighter and sweeter than Chef’s Blend.
Chef’s Blend stands out by combining five woods and a longer smoking time, resulting in a more complex and layered smoky seasoning.
