Herb Salts

Gourmet finishing salts that elevate any dish. Perfect for seasoning meats, vegetables, bread, and more—beautiful to look at and incredible to taste.

What Are Herb Salts?

Herb-infused finishing salts are a simple blend of dried herbs mixed with high-quality sea salt or flake salt. They add a burst of flavor and visual appeal to finished dishes—used at the table or as a final touch before serving.

Unlike cooking salts, finishing salts are meant to be sprinkled on food right before eating, so you taste the full herbaceous aroma and the delicate crunch of the salt crystals.

Basic Herb Salt Recipe

General Formula

1 cup flaked sea salt or coarse sea salt

2-4 tablespoons dried herbs (finely crumbled)

Optional: 1 tsp lemon zest, garlic powder, or black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Ensure herbs are fully dried (brittle, not flexible)
  2. Crumble herbs into small pieces (use a mortar and pestle or your fingers)
  3. Mix herbs and salt thoroughly in a bowl
  4. Store in airtight glass jars in a cool, dry place
  5. Label with blend name and date

💡 Pro Tip: Use flaked or coarse salt for the best visual appeal and texture. Fine table salt works, but doesn’t have the same “gourmet” look.
