Our Alder Smoked Salt is hot smoked over real Alderwood to give it a truly natural smoky flavour.

Alder Smoked Salt is a rich, aromatic seasoning that brings deep, woodsy smokiness to a variety of dishes. Its all-natural infusion of alderwood smoke makes it an excellent finishing salt or ingredient for spice blends, adding a bold, complex flavour to both savoury and sweet creations.

Suggested Uses

Meats & Seafood

Alder Smoked Salt is a powerhouse seasoning for proteins, bringing out rich, umami depth in meats and seafood.

• Steaks & Ribs: Massage a generous amount onto ribeye, T-bone, or short ribs before grilling or pan-searing for a steakhouse-style smokiness.
• Poultry: Season chicken thighs, duck breast, or even turkey to add a touch of campfire-inspired flavour.
• Salmon & Seafood: Sprinkle over salmon fillets, halibut, or shrimp before grilling or roasting to mimic the taste of traditional alderwood smoking. It’s also fantastic on cedar-planked fish.
• BBQ & Slow-Cooked Meats: Add to dry rubs for brisket, pulled pork, or smoked sausages. It enhances the caramelization of the meat while balancing the sweetness of BBQ sauces.
• Burgers & Meatballs: Mix into ground beef, turkey, or plant-based patties for a bold, smoky depth in every bite.

 Pasta & Creamy Dishes

Alder Smoked Salt transforms rich, creamy dishes by cutting through their natural heaviness with a delicate smoky bite.

• Carbonara: A small pinch enhances the pancetta’s flavour, giving the sauce an even deeper, woodsy finish.
• Mac & Cheese: Stir a bit into the cheese sauce or sprinkle on top before baking for a smoky twist on this comfort classic.
• Fettuccine Alfredo: Smoky salt complements the butter, cream, and Parmesan, making the sauce feel even more luxurious.
• Gnocchi & Ravioli: Sprinkle over ricotta-stuffed ravioli or a brown butter gnocchi dish to add a gourmet touch.
• Cheese Boards: Pair smoked salt with aged cheeses like Gouda, cheddar, or blue cheese to elevate the entire tasting experience.

Soup & Stews

Soups, stews, and hearty broths come alive with the addition of smoky salt, creating an underlying depth that enhances the entire dish.

• Chowders & Bisques: Smoked salt is a natural pairing for seafood-based chowders, particularly clam chowder or lobster bisque.
• Lentil Soup & Chilli: Just a pinch rounds out the savoury, earthy notes of lentils or black bean chilli.
• Roasted Tomato Soup: Balances the acidity of tomatoes while enhancing their natural sweetness.
• Butternut Squash & Pumpkin Soup: Adds a subtle contrast to the creamy, sweet nature of these autumnal dishes.
• French Onion Soup: Sprinkle a touch on the toasted baguette before topping with melted Gruyère.

Vegetables & Grains

Smoky salt isn’t just for meat—it can add layers of depth to plant-based dishes, bringing out natural sweetness and umami notes.

• Roasted Potatoes & Fries: Toss with crispy roasted baby potatoes or hand-cut fries for an easy flavour upgrade.
• Grilled Corn on the Cob: Mix into butter and spread over hot, charred corn for an irresistible smoky-sweet bite.
• Risotto & Rice Dishes: Just a pinch stirred into mushroom risotto, Spanish paella, or creamy polenta brings out a rich, earthy complexity.
• Avocado Toast & Salads: Finish off avocado toast with a sprinkle for a gourmet breakfast. Also pairs well with citrusy or nutty salad dressings.
• Charred Vegetables: Use on roasted cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, or grilled zucchini for a hint of BBQ-style depth.
• Popcorn & Nuts: Dust over warm, buttered popcorn or spiced nuts for a smoky, savoury snack.

Eggs & Dairy

Egg-based dishes benefit tremendously from the addition of smoky salt, enhancing their natural richness.

• Scrambled Eggs & Omelettes: A small dash gives everyday eggs a more complex, restaurant-quality taste.
• Devilled Eggs: Stir into the filling for a deeper, smoky contrast to the creamy yolks and tangy mustard.
• Cheese Spreads & Dips: Blend with cream cheese, goat cheese, or cheddar-based dips for an addictive, smoky touch.
• Grilled Cheese & Quesadillas: Sprinkle inside the layers of cheese before grilling for an instant flavour boost.
• Butter & Cream Sauces: Mix into compound butter or béchamel sauce for extra depth in pasta, baked dishes, or roasted vegetables.

Beyond the Kitchen

• Cocktails: Use to rim a Bloody Mary, smoky margarita, or whisky-based Old Fashioned.
• Desserts: Try on dark chocolate truffles, caramelised nuts, or fruit-based desserts for a complex, smoky-sweet balance.
• Homemade Spice Blends: Mix with other seasonings to create your own BBQ rubs, herb blends, or even smoky finishing salts for gifting.
