Product Description
PURPOSE
WHAT IS IT?
This salt is drawn from the sea, crystalized, then cold-smoke-infused with black garlic to give it a rich, robust taste that has a lot of applications in your cuisine! Normally we’d pass on pricey salts, especially any “sea salt,” but this black garlic offers the opportunity to use an herb-salt that is harder to find, and keeps better than black garlic.
EXPERIENCE
Sea salt has other trace minerals, making it a bit “richer” tasting salt. Jacobsen’s smoking process brings big flavor to the salt, without the bitterness associated with other smoked salts. Black garlic is a darker, muskier flavor than regular white garlic, and the salt takes up every bit of that. Since black garlic is harder to find, the salt makes for a good seasoning to add to your aromata!
CULINARY GEOGRAPHY
Jacobsen Salt Co. used to harvests sea salt from the cold, clear waters of Netarts Bay, in Oregon by dragging it up in buckets. Today, they use a slightly more volume method, but like to stick to the “hand made” moniker, claiming now that it’s an “origin story.” The salt is used in the Northwest, although it is available throughout North America.
TRADITIONAL USES
- Season a steak with this and a little ghee, and wow!;
- A sprinkle over steamed vegetables;

IMPROVISATIONAL ‘RIFFS’

- Add to the curing salts in a bacon for a wonderful black garlic bacon;
- A great topping for focaccia bread.
THE BACKSTORY
Jacobsen has been making salt in Oregon since 2011. Salt is harvested from Netarts Bay on the Oregon Coast.
