Alderwood salt Salish Alderwood Art | granulate | 1-3 mm | cold smoked

What is it about / Product description

This Alderwood smoked salt Salish Alderwood is made from natural sea salt that is gently refined in cold smoke over alder wood. The coarse brown granules with a grain size of 1–3 mm visually resemble classic wood-smoked specialties and bring authentic smoky aroma into your kitchen. Within Biova’s range of spices, it is an aromatic alternative to conventional table salt.

Thanks to slow cold-smoking in the Biova manufactory, the smoked salt develops an intense yet harmonious smoky note with pleasantly mild saltiness. Multi-day smoking intervals, manual turning and controlled ventilation ensure an even penetration of the salt crystals. The coarse, granulated structure is ideal for bulk users, gastronomy and small producers who want to dose precisely.

In the kitchen, Alderwood smoked salt Salish Alderwood is perfect for rounding off grilled dishes, stews, salads or vegetarian meals. Marinades, BBQ rubs and sauces gain a balanced, wood-smoked note from the coarse smoked salt granules. The granules can be sprinkled directly over dishes, filled into mills or used as a base for your own spice blends.

Origin

The sea salt comes from selected coastal regions in Germany and Croatia, where clean sea air and a temperate climate ensure consistent quality. A natural salt with a balanced mineral profile is obtained. The artisanal refinement into Alderwood smoked salt then takes place in Germany at the Biova production facility.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The sea salt is traditionally obtained by evaporating seawater and gently dried after harvesting. In special smoking chambers it is cold-smoked over alder wood for up to 16 days. Several daily smoking intervals, manual turning and ventilation ensure that each batch develops a uniform smoky aroma.

Special features

Characteristic of this smoked salt are the natural alder wood smoke aroma and the mild saltiness. The granulated, coarse grain size of around 1–3 mm makes dosing easier and is particularly suitable for bulk goods, large-scale users and spice mills. Production in small batches allows precise control of smoke density and residual moisture.

Differences in origin and processing

Slight differences in the mineral content of the German and Croatian salt sources subtly influence crystal structure and solubility. However, the actual character is shaped by the traditional cold-smoke refinement over alder wood. This clearly sets the product apart from industrially flavoured smoked salts and offers an authentic, wood-smoked profile.

Taste & aroma

Sensory-wise, a mild, well-balanced salt note combines with a clearly perceptible but not dominant smoky aroma. The scent is reminiscent of freshly smoked foods and a classic alder wood fire. On the palate, the coarse smoked salt appears rounded, without bitterness or artificial off-notes.
