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.

Ingredients & Flavour Profile

This isn’t just a dusty powder blend. It’s made from real, high-quality ingredients, with zero fillers and maximum flavour.

What’s inside:

• Smoked sea salt – deep, savoury, full-bodied saltiness

• Real garlic – punchy, aromatic, rich

• Basil – fresh, slightly sweet herbaceous lift

• A pinch of anti-caking agent – to keep things smooth and sprinkleable

The flavour vibe:

Think garlic bread meets woodfired pizza with a clean herbal finish. It’s comforting, bold, and incredibly versatile.

✔️ More garlic
✔️ Less harsh salt
✔️ Way more fun to use than supermarket stuff
