I never want to be without
January 6, 2013
I can't say enough good things about the hickory salt. It is worth the money and adds so much to everything I've used it on. I'm out and so is W&S - YIKES! I'll be keeping a spare on hand going forward.
Pros: Quality, Flavor, Great Gift

I turned this into a cocktail!!! Awesome!
October 14, 2012
I bought this a couple of weeks ago on a whim. I originally had it in mind for a salt rim on a fall/winter version of a Margarita. Then after a couple of days of playing around I decided to make a syrup from it. It took some work but I was eventually able to develop a great balance and got my smoked syrup. I then turned into "Ol' Smokey's Mangarita". I do it with bourbon, apple cider, the smoked syrup and a few other ingredients with the hickory salt rim. It is currently the hottest seller at my restaraunt. People can't get enough of it. Great product for other than cooking!!!
Pros: Texture, Authentic, Quality, Flavor

The must have it!
April 27, 2012
I have been using this must have smokey sea salt since it became available. It is our to go to salt on everything. A little goes a long way. Try it the next time you make potato or macaroni salad. I got rave reviews when I mixed it in my mayo, sour cream base for the salads. FANTASTIC!

Very strong and authentic smoke flavor
April 17, 2012
Smoked salt can make meals taste much bolder and better, even when you just prepare on the cook top. Years ago when living in Alaska, I tried a locally produced Alder smoked salt, which I loved and used to the last grain. So when I saw the hickory smoked salt, I decided to try it. The smell of it is very intense and authentic - it put me off a bit at first, but then when i tried it on food, it was the perfect intensity and flavor. While we are in the process of moving across the country, I carry very few essentials with us, and have taken this one as the only salt (instead of my usual sea salt mill), as it goes a long way, and peps up any meal I make. I love it especially for roasted veggies, chicken, even use it for omeletts. With a preschooler at the dinner table, none of our picky eaters have complained. Because it is so intense, I use a lot less salt now. I don't prefer this salt for bread dipped in olive oil, as I prefer large flakes with a slight crunch.
Pros: Authentic, Quality, Good for Entertaining, Flavor
Cons: Texture

Smokey Success For Me
November 26, 2011
I can say this is worth every penny. I have used this on everything from Steaks to roasted cherry tomatoes. This is so good but be careful the second time I used it I thought if a little was good more would be better not so. It can be over powering if used to heavily. But it is very yummy.
Pros: Quality, Flavor

LOVE IT!!!
September 24, 2011
We bought this originally to go into a BBQ Rub and it is now a staple in our seasoning arsenal. It adds great flavor without an overwhelming salt taste. We rub it into literally ALL of our red meat and if you like prime rib, you need to order this salt . . . but not too much, I have to reorder often!! :) Happy Cooking!!!!
Pros: Quality, Good for Entertaining, Flavor

smoked sea salt
July 23, 2011
OMG!!! This is a spectacular item. I brined a turkey with it and added it to the stuffing. WOW! Great stuff! I have also used it on sauted mushrooms and it packs a lot of flavor with little use. Love this stuff and am buying two more jars and maybe even a few more for Christmas gifts this year
Pros: Texture, Amount, Authentic, Quality, Flavor, Healthy, Great Gift

Absolutely delicious

This is wonderful salt, just the smell alone is fantastic. I use it on so many things from meats to vegetables to gravy. My husband will eat it out of the jar if I don't watch him. Can't live without it now.

Wonderful!
January 31, 2011
I came across this while looking for stocking stuffers for my dad and thought I'd try it out. We both loved it and use it all the time. This salt is great for novice cooks (like ourselves), but it creates a great high quality smoked taste, perfect even for the most experienced chefs.

A Must Have!
October 17, 2010
I was wary of buying this, but my husband convinced me to try it out and I am so glad I did! It is very powerful and a little goes a long way, but your food WILL taste like it was made on a hickory smoked grill. It is excellent with barbeque foods, steaks, chickens, etc. HIghly recommend!

BBQ flavor without the grill
September 15, 2010
Smoked salt really adds excellent hickory flavor as a finish to any cooked food. Get the flavor of BBQ without grilling - and without chemicals or preservatives. Especially yummy on eggs!

If you love this on eggs, try making an open-faced egg sandwich with BBQ sauce, carmelized onions, bacon and american cheese, topped with this amazing hickory smoked salt and fresh cracked black pepper. I enjoy it every morning!
