San Francisco Salt Company Hickory Smoked Sea Salt 2 lb Bag — Fine Grain, Natural BBQ Smoke

San Francisco Salt Company's Hickory Smoked Sea Salt is a fine-grain sea salt gently smoked over hickory wood to deliver a rich, smoky BBQ flavor ready to sprinkle on any dish.

This finely milled smoked sea salt blends pure sea salt with slow hickory smoke for an immediate, savory aroma that enhances grilled meats, roasted vegetables, sauces, and finishing plates. Packaged in a 2 lb bag, this culinary salt is labeled non-GMO and free from MSG, soy, gluten, dairy, and anti-caking agents — produced in an SQF-quality, organic-compliant U.S. facility. The fine grain makes it convenient to measure and dissolve while preserving an authentic smoky profile without bitter or chemical aftertastes.

How will this hickory smoked salt change my grilling and finishing?

Use it as a finishing salt or as part of rubs and marinades to add immediate hickory smoke character without firing up a smoker. Because the smoke is applied slowly over hickory wood, the flavor is pronounced yet balanced, lending a bacon-like smokiness rather than harsh or acrid notes.

• Sprinkle on steaks, burgers, or grilled vegetables just before serving.
• Mix with brown sugar and spices to make a dry rub for ribs and brisket.
• Add to pan sauces and compound butters for a smoky finish.

What dishes work best with a fine-grain hickory smoked sea salt?

The fine texture dissolves quickly, so it’s ideal for sauces, dressings, and recipes where even seasoning is crucial. It also performs well as a finishing touch on warm dishes so the smoke aroma is released immediately when plated.

• Meats: pork, beef, poultry, and salmon for pronounced smoky notes.
• Vegetables: roasted root vegetables, charred corn, and mushrooms.
• Pantry: popcorn, eggs, soups, and compound butters for quick smoke lift.

How is this smoked salt made and what’s in it?

The salt starts as pure sea salt and is slowly smoked above a hickory wood fire to infuse a smoky aroma and flavor without bitterness. The ingredient list is simple: sea salt and hickory smoke; there are no added anti-caking agents or flavor enhancers.

• Slow smoking process over hickory for authentic BBQ character.
• Fine grain for even distribution and easy measuring.
• Non-GMO and free from MSG, soy, gluten, dairy, and additives.

How should I store and use a 2 lb bag to keep flavor fresh?

Keep the bag sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from strong odors and direct sunlight to preserve the smoky aroma. For daily convenience, transfer a portion into a small shaker or airtight jar and return the bag to storage to minimize exposure to air and moisture.

• Reseal or transfer to airtight container after opening.
• Keep away from humid environments to prevent clumping.
• Use within a reasonable timeframe for best aroma — smoke notes are most vibrant early on.

Who is this for? Home cooks, caterers, and professional chefs who want an authentic hickory smoke flavor without operating a smoker will appreciate this fine-grain smoked sea salt. It suits anyone seeking a clean, bold BBQ accent for grilling, finishing, or seasoning a wide range of savory dishes — especially those avoiding additives, gluten, or common allergens.
