Smoky, smooth, and slightly fruity. Cherry is known for its versatility and ability to pair with any meat or veggie, so it was an obvious choice when we began experimenting with fruit wood smoked salt. To create our cherry smoked salt, we smoked unrefined, ancient Real Salt (aka “Nature’s First Sea Salt®”) with cherry wood and alderwood for 30 hours until it developed a robust, smoky flavor with the perfect touch of sweetness.
Wood x Fire x Salt
That's right, it's just wood, blue smoke, and slow smoking that does the trick!
What makes it unique?
- Real Salt - Our unrefined, ancient sea salt is a healthier option than the processed salt used in other smoked salts. It doesn’t contain any additives and hasn’t been stripped of beneficial minerals.
- An All-Wood Smoking Process - We only use wood during our smoking process. That’s much cleaner and healthier than using wood and a fuel source like gas to keep the fire going like some other brands do.
- Sustainably Sourced Wood - Any trees that are removed for smoking are replaced for future regrowth, so the process is sustainable.
What are the benefits of smoked real salt?
Smoked salt is a simple way to add a bold, smoky flavor to practically any dish. You can use it to:
- Add an instant BBQ flavor to dishes without grilling.
- Make healthy snacks like salads, fresh veggies, and even fruit more exciting.
- Spice up everyday foods like grilled cheese, soup, and eggs.
- Create smoky sauces and marinades.
- Make a smoky, flavorful meat rub.
- Garnish cocktails (like a margarita or bloody mary) in a more creative way.

SMOKED REAL SALT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS SMOKED SALT?
Smoked salt is salt that's been infused with smoke from natural, bark-free wood in a smoker. Many smoked salts are smoked for around 48 hours. But you can smoke them for a shorter or longer period depending on how bold you want the smoky flavor to be.
You can use different types of wood in the smoking process to achieve different flavors too. Some of the most popular woods used for smoking salt are alderwood, mesquite wood, sweet applewood, hickory wood, and cherry wood. For a really complex and robust flavor, some smoked salt makers use a combination of several different types of wood in the smoking process (our Chef's Blend combines five different types of wood).
WHAT PROCESS IS USED TO SMOKE SMOKED REDMOND REAL SALT?
Smoked Redmond Real Salt is made with a clean and healthy all-wood smoking process (no other fuel source like gas is used to keep the fire going). The wood used for smoking Smoked Redmond Real Salt is never treated and is sustainably sourced (as trees are removed for smoking, more are planted for future regrowth). The smoking process for all three Smoked Redmond Real Salt flavors starts with a red alderwood base and additional woods are added to make each flavor uniquely delicious:
