Add a Kick to Your Cooking with Chilli Salt

18th Oct 2019

A pinch of salt will take just about any dish to the next level, but we're kicking things up a notch with our fiery take on the humble kitchen staple.

We've created three hot and spicy sea salt blends that will turn an average cook into a culinary king or queen. Using flavoured salts in your cooking is so simple but makes a significant impact.

Sriracha Salt

This heated and zesty salt is made from a blend of sea salt, sriracha sauce and just a touch of habanero chilli. Sriracha is a delicious sauce that is hugely popular in Asian cuisine, especially in Thai and Vietnamese dishes. The sauce is made from a paste of chilli peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt. It's between 1,000 - 2,500 Scoville Heat Units on the Scoville scale (a measurement of the spiciness or 'heat' of chilli peppers and other spicy foods).

Habanero Salt

Our delicious Habanero Salt is a blend of high-quality ground habanero chillies and sea salt. Habaneros are a very hot variety of the chilli pepper that sits around 100,000 - 350,000 SHU on the Scoville scale. They originated in the Amazon and eventually spread to Mexico, who is now the largest producer of the chilli worldwide.

Chipotle Salt

With a warm but not too spicy heat and delicious rich earthy flavour, our Chipotle Salt will bring a touch of fiesta to your kitchen. Chipotle is a variety of smoke-dried chilli used in both Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. The heat factor of a lone chipotle can vary from 3,000 - 10,000 SHU on the Scoville scale.
