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

When it comes to elevating a homemade grilled cheese sandwich, the right finishing salt can make all the difference. For those seeking a natural, smoky flavor without artificial additives, an unrefined smoked salt is an excellent choice. It adds a warm, campfire-like aroma and a rich smoky taste that complements the creamy, melted cheese perfectly.

Smoked Real Salt®: The Ideal Choice for Grilled Cheese Lovers

Authentic, Unrefined, and Naturally Smoked

Smoked Real Salt® is crafted from ancient, unrefined Real Salt, also known as “Nature’s First Sea Salt®.” This salt is smoked using a clean, all-wood process without any artificial flavors, colors, or additives. The result is a pure, smoky seasoning that enhances your grilled cheese with a distinctive, rich flavor.

Three Unique Flavors to Match Your Taste

  • Cherry Smoked Salt: Smoked with cherry and alderwood for 30 hours, this variety offers a robust smoky flavor with a subtle sweetness. Its nutty and fruity notes make it versatile enough to pair beautifully with the buttery richness of grilled cheese.
  • Hickory Smoked Salt: Also smoked for 30 hours using red alderwood and hickory, this salt delivers a strong smoky flavor that balances sweet and savory tones. It’s perfect for those who want a bold smoky punch without the hassle of outdoor smoking.
  • Chef’s Blend Smoked Salt: For a well-rounded smoky flavor, this blend is smoked for 42 hours with five different types of wood. It’s less intense than Hickory but still packs plenty of smoky goodness, making it a great all-purpose finishing salt.

Why Choose Smoked Real Salt® for Your Grilled Cheese?

Smoked Real Salt® is a grilling game-changer that’s just as effective on a grilled cheese sandwich, salad, or even fruit. Its smoky, smooth, and slightly fruity profile adds depth and complexity to simple dishes.
