Hickory Salt

Smoked cooking salt for bold, barbecue-style flavor

Hickory salt is a sea (cooking) salt flavored with smoke aromatics. A small pinch delivers a clean, campfire-style smokiness that lifts grilled meats, vegetables, eggs, dressings and BBQ rubs.

  • Type: smoked flavored salt (finishing & cooking)
  • Aroma & taste: hickory smoke, toasted, gently sweet-savory; crisp salt bite
  • Best for: steaks, burgers, roast veg, corn, beans, eggs, popcorn, dressings, marinades

Culinary uses

  • Finishing: sprinkle at the table over grilled meats, veg or eggs for maximum aroma.
  • Dry rubs: blend with pepper, paprika and garlic for quick BBQ rubs.
  • Marinades & dressings: whisk into oil–acid bases; taste and adjust—smoke is potent.
  • Veg & snacks: a light dusting on roasted potatoes, corn on the cob or popcorn.

How to use

  • Use lightly: smoke flavor concentrates quickly—build up in pinches.
  • Finish vs. cook: add near the end to preserve aroma; long cooking softens smokiness.
  • Moisture caution: keep away from steam; charcoal-colored salts can tint liquids.

Dosage & kitchen ratios

  • Finishing per portion: ~1–2 pinches (≈ 0.3–0.6 g).
  • Dry rubs: 1 tsp hickory salt per 500 g meat + 1–2 tsp spices.
  • Dressings/marinades: 1/4–1/2 tsp per 250 ml base, to taste.
