The Best Hickory Smoked Sea Salt Alternatives to Liquid Smoke
Looking for a natural, flavorful alternative to liquid smoke? Discover the world of hickory smoked sea salt and other smoked salt varieties that deliver authentic smoky flavor—without artificial additives or liquid smoke. Whether you’re grilling, seasoning, or finishing a dish, these smoked salts are a clean, delicious way to add depth and complexity to your meals.
Why Choose Smoked Salt Over Liquid Smoke?
Smoked salt is salt that's been infused with real wood smoke—never artificial flavors or colors. Unlike liquid smoke, which is often made with additives, true smoked salt delivers a pure, natural smoky flavor.
Smoked salt is crafted by slowly smoking unrefined sea salt over natural, bark-free wood. The result? A rich, flame-grilled taste that enhances everything from meats and veggies to salads and even desserts. Redmond’s Smoked Real Salt® is made with an all-wood smoking process—no liquid smoke, no artificial ingredients, and no shortcuts.
