Smokey Garlic Salt
Smokey Garlic Salt: A Kiwi Classic with a Bold Twist
For the garlic lover! If you like regular garlic salt, you’re going to fall in love with Smokey Garlic Salt. Crafted with beautifully smoked sea salt, real garlic, and a hint of basil, this is garlic salt—but better. It’s clean, punchy, and full of bold flavour without overpowering your dish.
Perfect on roast veg, garlic bread, popcorn, or even mixed into butter—this is your new go-to seasoning for effortless flavour, every day.
From Ordinary to Epic: The Garlic Salt Makeover
Garlic salt has been around since the mid-20th century, originally born out of convenience. But let’s be honest—most versions were more blah than boom.
So we gave it a proper Spicecraft glow-up:
-
Smoked the salt—not the garlic—for natural smoky depth
-
Used real garlic for that aromatic, bold hit
-
Added basil to lift and freshen the profile
The result? A clean, balanced garlic salt that works before, during, or after cooking. No faffing, just flavour.
