Jacobsen Salt Co. Infused Black Garlic Salt

We love the deep savoriness and subtle fermented funk of this infused black garlic salt, whose every component is made in-house by Jacobsen Salt Co. near Portland, Oregon. Aged for two to three months in controlled heat and humidity until it undergoes the Maillard reaction (the same phenomenon that gives seared meats their umami flavor), black garlic is more mellow than raw garlic, with caramelized notes and a delicate balance between sweet and savory. Jacobsen Salt Co. grounds black garlic into a powder and mixes with the company’s flaky, hand-harvested Pacific sea salt.

[/banner_heading] Before starting Jacobsen Salt Co., he spent two and a half years in Denmark learning about salt production and traveled up and down the Pacific Coast hand-collecting and testing saltwater samples. Once he settled on the pristine Netarts Bay in Northern Oregon, Jacobsen designed a multi-step harvesting system for his sea salts. Ocean water is cooked down in custom pans and excess minerals are boiled off, resulting in a delicate, crisp sea salt with no bitter aftertaste. With every flake of salt carefully graded and sorted by hand, it’s no wonder that Jacobsen’s salts are favored by chefs.

We absolutely love it to finish classic Roman Cacio e Pepe or Spaghetti with Pancetta (Pasta alla Gricia). Or for a simple spice rub, mix 1 tablespoon black garlic salt with 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons sweet paprika, 2 teaspoons ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Demerara or turbinado sugar. To get the best handle on its unique flavor, try a dusting on sliced tomatoes drenched with fruity olive oil or sliced avocado with a shake of hot sauce.
