Salt & Food Pairing Guide

Not sure which salt to choose? Start with the dish you’re serving. A small sprinkle of finishing salt just before serving lets you enjoy its distinctive flavor and texture.

Savory dishes

Fleur de Sel

Fleur de Sel has a big, complex flavor of sea and minerals. Moist, crunchy texture. Use as a finishing salt on meats, seafood, vegetables, salads, grains, and eggs.

Danish Viking Smoked Sea Salt

Smoked over several different woods, the result is a salt with unmatched depth and complexity. Serve on salmon, beef steaks, potatoes, bean soups, or rim a dark beer.

Cyprus Black Sea Salt Flakes

Delicate, crisp flakes with striking color. Sprinkle over white fish, tomato-mozzarella salads, deviled eggs, or avocado toast.

Vanilla Bean Sea Salt

An unexpected savory accent for corn on the cob, pork, salmon, shellfish, and roasted vegetables.

Chocolate, caramel & desserts

Fleur de Sel

Sprinkle over sugar cookies or warm chocolate and caramel sauces for a classic sweet-salt contrast.

Vanilla Bean Sea Salt

Bring a vanilla accent and a touch of crunch to bread pudding, ice cream, hot fudge sauce, or caramel sauce.

Oak Wood Smoked Sea Salt

Try a little on chocolate sauce, ice cream, or custard, especially crème caramel, for a gently smoky twist.

Cooking or finishing?

For batters and doughs, choose a fine-grain salt that mixes evenly. Use finishing salts on the surface, where their texture and flavor can shine. Start with a little and adjust to taste.
