The quality of the smoking process is evident in the rich, authentic aroma. This salt has become a culinary staple, adding a touch of sophistication to both simple and complex recipes.

Amazing product. Wonderful addition to roasted vegetables. Great value for the money. Arrived quickly without issue.

I make my own Coke-based bbq sauce, which is really good, but lately I've been investigating ways to take it to the next level. Tried Oregano, Sage, Paprika, and several other spices, but none did what I wanted flavor-wise. I would like to have used liquid smoke, but I'm sensitive to msg and can get a reaction. So, I started looking up alternatives, and this came up. I opened the plastic pouch containing this smoked salt, and was hit immediately with a surprisingly strong, bold flavor, exactly what I was looking for. Shouldn't need much given its strength, and will be experimenting with its addition to my bbq sauce later today. Oh yah...

Delicious finishing salt

After learning some new things about cooking, I went scouring the web for premium salts. Maldon was a brand recommended by my cooking course, so it was one I was looking for in my search. The price was reasonable (for a gourmet salt) and the flavor sounded interesting, so I decided to give this a try and it is very yummy!This salt definitely imparts a deep, smokey-type or perhaps "grilled" flavor to food, but it's not overwhelming; more of a compliment to the right dish. I wouldn't necessarily use it for every day salting, but on food where you want to add that extra layer of smokey complexity, this salt is perfect and awesome!There are only two real cons I can think of. First, the packaging is extremely cheap and not terribly practical. The salt comes in a very flimsy cardboard box (which was already a bit smashed when it arrived). It doesn't close properly once it's warped at all and it kind of sits awkwardly on the shelf due to the warped box bottom.Inside the box, the salt is packaged in a plastic bag, like you might find in a cereal box. It's fine, I suppose. It just feels cheap for what I thought was a gourmet salt, and for which I paid a gourmet price. And it is kind of awkward fishing the salt out of the bag. I think the best option would be to place the salt into a nice salt box, but I don't have one. And I just think the packaging could be more in-line with a gourmet product, and more useful on its own. Compare to the Himalayan Pink Salt I also bought which came in a nice, wide-mouth glass jar with classy labeling. That jar is easy to fit my fingers into to pick up pinches of salt, it has a lid, and it sits nicely in my cupboard.Secondly, the salt crystals are quite large and you have to break them up with your fingers (or I guess you could grind them). On the plus side, the crystals are pretty brittle and break apart fairly easily. On the down side, it kind of hurts my fingers and you end up with lots of different sized chunks, which can be kind of weird when you're eating it and suddenly get a big salt crystal. I realize that Maldon salt is actually known for the unique, pyramid shaped crystals, and they are kind of cool looking, just not as practical as I would like.Overall, I give this salt:5 Stars for quality, taste, and uniqueness1 Star for packaging and ease of use

The aroma is superb and the flavor is sooo good! I've been using this brand in the regular sea salt and am very pleased overall. I will definitely continue to buy the Smoked Sea Salt. I feel that I favor it over the regular. Yes, I'm hooked.
