Best Unrefined Smoked Salt for Gourmet Grilled Cheese

Discover the Best Unrefined Smoked Finishing Salt for Your Homemade Grilled Cheese

If you want to elevate your grilled cheese sandwich with a unique smoky flavor, choosing the right finishing salt is key. Smoked salts add a warm, aromatic touch that can transform a simple dish into a gourmet experience. Here’s a detailed look at an excellent unrefined smoked salt option that fits perfectly with homemade grilled cheese.

Smoked Real Salt®: Authentic Unrefined Smoked Salt for Grilled Cheese

Pure, Natural, and Flavorful

Smoked Real Salt® is crafted from ancient, unrefined Real Salt, also known as “Nature’s First Sea Salt®.” This salt is naturally rich in trace minerals and free from artificial flavors, colors, or additives, ensuring a clean and wholesome seasoning experience. Its warm aroma evokes the feeling of a summer campfire, making it an ideal finishing touch for grilled cheese sandwiches.

Three Distinct Smoked Flavors

Cherry Smoked Salt Smoked with cherry wood and alderwood for 30 hours, this variety offers a robust smoky flavor with a subtle sweetness. Its slightly fruity and smooth profile pairs well with the creamy, melted cheese and buttery bread of a grilled cheese sandwich, adding a nuanced depth without overpowering the dish. Hickory Smoked Salt Hickory wood and red alderwood smoke this salt for 30 hours, resulting in a strong smoky flavor that balances sweet and savory notes. This salt is perfect if you want a bold, classic smoky taste reminiscent of traditional barbecue, enhancing the sandwich’s richness. Chef’s Blend Smoked Salt For a more complex flavor, the Chef’s Blend is smoked for 42 hours using five different types of wood. It delivers a well-rounded smoky taste that is strong but less intense than Hickory. This blend complements a variety of ingredients, making it versatile for grilled cheese with additional fillings like tomatoes or herbs.

Benefits for Your Grilled Cheese
