Cherrywood Smoked Sea Salt adds a mild smokiness and salty crunch to any dish you desire. As a fruitwood, cherrywood has a lighter, sweeter, mellower flavor than other woods like hickory or mesquite. As a result, it is one of the most versatile and popular woods for smoking, and is an ideal flavoring for more delicate proteins like seafood and poultry.

How to use it

The sweeter smoke. Cherrywood gives a lighter, fruitier smokiness than hickory — think stone-fruit sweetness underneath the smoke. Finish roasted pork, glazed salmon, or grilled peaches. Surprisingly great on chocolate desserts and salted caramels where the fruity smoke adds depth. A gentler alternative when hickory feels too aggressive.

What it goes with

Cherry smoke and pine smoke share the same core compound — so our Lapsang Souchong is the natural match, but the cherry's fruity sweetness keeps it from doubling down too hard. For something gentler, our Smoked Maple Oolong bridges the smoke and sweetness beautifully.

The maple peach is delicious. What a beautiful combination. I will most definitely order it again, and a higher quantity of it.

Always handy

I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.
