I put this on my ribeyes!!! Yummy!!! Top tier goodness!!!

Get a good steak, rub some of this salt on it and go to town. You will love it!!!

I love the smokiness On tomatoes, avocados, guacamole, meat, and so many things. The flavor is not overpowering, but it is definitely not subtle either

This is a fantastic truffle salt- my fave by far. I used to get the big bag and split amongst family. The small bag fills a standard spice shaker (plus a tiny bit leftover).It makes plain steamed broccoli taste elite. We love it on hard boiled eggs. Popcorn. Anything really. The umami hooks you immediately, and it’s pungent stuff; you can smell it through the bag. The sea salt does make it so you can use less salt overall- it’s saltier than table salt.

This salt is delicious as a finishing salt. It's a little finer than kosher salt and coarser than table salt. It sprinkles well through a standard spice shaker bottle like you can get at Fresh Market. I find its too fine to pinch from a salt cellar and it seems slightly damp apparently from the smoke oils. It kind of sticks to the inside of a glass shaker bottle but not badly and you need to give the bottle a shake to loosen it up before use.The smoke flavor and aroma of the alderwood is amazing! I use it on my eggs every morning and it's in all my homemade spice rubs that use salt now.At first I bought just the 5 oz. bag but have since bought a 2 lb. bag since we polished off the 5 oz. bag in about a month. Keep in mind though that this salt is saltier than kosher or most sea salts. It only takes the slightest dusting on eggs and it's easy to get too much. Yes, it will taste smoker but it can easily make your dish too salty. Don't use it like you would kosher. Use it at table salt strength (half as much) and it's about right.

This is so flavorful and you only need a dash to add amazing flavor to your dishes. I use it sparingly on most anything. I don't normally use salt when cooking, but have found this to elevate the flavor of whatever I've got in the pan or pot. Initially I bought it in a small container that I can shake it on to food.Wanted to share it with a couple of friends, so I bought the resealable bag so I could give them a little to try. I was able to give them each a small spice jar full and it was less costly than buying the self contained product. I didn't want to spend more when I didn't know if they would like it or use it. They too have given me positive feedback on the use of this delicious truffle salt! It was a good purchase for the price.

Upon receiving and opening my 5oz bag of Italian Black Truffle Salt, I was appalled by the aroma. I was ready to contact customer service to request a refund (as refunds are not typically granted for food items purchased on Amazon) but decided to go ahead and read more of the critical reviews of this particular product. This turned out to be game changer. There were a number of consumers who mentioned that the aroma was off-putting… but many mentioned that it faded after days or weeks. I took that into consideration and decided to go ahead and try it a few hours after I opened the bag. Hours later, I tried it on fish and just didn’t care for the taste – it actually reminded me of potassium chloride salt substitute.The following morning, I tried it again (on fish). It wasn’t as offensive, but I still didn’t care for it. But, having read a number of the critical reviews, I was rather impressed with the level of customer support follow-through that Rebecca exhibits. I work as a QA Manager at food manufacturing company and can recognize a sincere response. While some of her replies are canned – guess what, so are those related reviews to which she uses that response. Rebecca reads all reviews and replies to them accordingly. If it’s a taste thing, you cannot argue with that, so that’s when you get the canned response (which in my opinion is the best thing a food company can offer, as we all have different taste preferences). If it’s a shipping issue, she addresses it. If it’s an authenticity issue, she reassures you with their certified lab testing. Outside of the excellent reviews where folks already love the product, Rebecca, in my opinion, is the key that keeps the Amazon consumers loyal to this product.So, I tried it again at lunch… which I was hesitant to do because I could smell the unpleasant (only somewhat now) smell from the snack drawer at my desk. Once I opened it up to ask my boss what he thought, I took a sniff and it actually smelled remarkably better! Still not 100%, but it started to smell good. I sprinkled it on my fish and vegetables and enjoyed it!One caveat: Don’t use too much too soon. Within the first 24ish hours, I got little flavor, lots of unpleasant aroma. 36 to 48 hours later… I used a little too much salt (thinking I needed more to get the truffle flavor, based on my experience from the previous 24ish hours). It may take a little time to “soak in” but definitely allow for that time. It’s worth it. I’m going to try a lighter sprinkle tomorrow and let it soak in, marinate before I attempt eating.All in all, I’m not sure if I’ll buy this product again. But then, I’ve only had this salt for 48 hours, and the aroma and flavor have morphed dramatically in that short amount of time. That being said, I’m definitely going to peruse the shop and hopefully order from San Francisco Salt Company again because of the phenomenal customer support and service by Rebecca.
