The Salty Reaper

Hickory Smoked Carolina Reaper Infused Sea Salt

This is one of the hottest sea salts that Spice Girls Pepper Company makes.  Born from our test kitchen, it has been a customer favorite.  We have always been a fan of the distinct sweet smell and taste that the Carolina Reaper has and this salt brings it to your table in another form.

We source these peppers directly from our farm, in Willow Spring, North Carolina.  This allows us to maintain the freshness of our ingredients and learn about the agricultural process from seed to table. The reapers are hand picked by us to be used in this salt, our Not So Grim Reaper pepper, or various other products.  We deseed them, then they are pureed to a fine mash, so that they can be integrated into our sea salt.  The infused salt is then hickory smoked to dehydrate it, and finally it is packaged right here at our farm.

We use Sel Gris salt in all of our infused pepper salts, coming to us from Guérande, France.  This coarse finishing salt is a mineral rich French grey sea salt, loaded with flavor.  Our pepper flavor and spice take it over the top!  Infusing the salt with the peppers, rather than dehydrating the peppers then adding them to the salt, yields a more flavorful product that we hope you'll enjoy. 

This stuff is pretty hot and is a great additive to any meal, taking it up a notch without the drastic change in flavor you would experience with a hot sauce.  Use it just like any other finishing salt, when you want to add a little kick to your dish.  Let us know what you use it on, we love to hear about and try recommendations from our customers!
