Cornish Sea Salt Chili Hit Seasoning | Cooking & Hydration | Hand-Harvested in Celtic Waters | 1.8 oz Resealable Tub (Pack of 1)

This small-ish container of chili-flavored salt looks at first as though it's all crushed red pepper, but it's not. A pinch of it placed directly on my tongue tasted more salty than fiery, although the hot pepper is there. I find that this salt is great to add to olive oil for a dipping sauce or on homemade focaccia or as seasoning on burgers. I expect that it would also be good on grilled chicken. Because this salt comes from the UK, a place where spicy rarely means fiery, this seasoning is milder than I expected. Still, it has fantastic flavor for a variety of uses. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

This is very flavorful salt with a chili blend of spices, garlic, etc. I sprinkled some over cheese on my cheese board & had a small bowl of it for dipping bread & olive oil. I think it would be good sprinkled inside a sandwich, on meat, eggs, veg, etc. It adds a crunchy, salty spicy taste to many foods.

The pepper flakes weren’t uniform so it’s tough to weigh out the heat output. Not much salt at all, I added a lot of sea salt flakes to it and the salt still didn’t come through. It would be good to add salt to it and mortar it so they are uniforms size to gage the heat output. It would be cheaper to buy red pepper flakes and add your own salt.

I'm not a fan of spice for spice's sake, I don't want something to just burn my mouth without adding anything. This seasoning is right on the edge of where I prefer heat to be, and it has excellent flavor. It's comparable to a chili seasoning but much more complex and deep, though the ingredients are pretty much the same even referring to it as 'chili seasoning blend' on the whole. I think it's the size of the pieces that make the difference, it's not a powder, there's big flakes and chunks. The saltiness is just about right as well. Adding a little pinch to anything that needs a kick has been working great.

I love chili flakes and sea salt - now I can add both in a pinch! This is my second Cornish Sea Salt order and this one will be a go-to for pizza, pasta, soups or anything else that needs a hot of salt and a hit of heat. The spice is respectable so go light at first. Just a pinch or two is plenty for a dish for two and this provided all the saltiness and spice I needed on some leftover plain pasta without adding other seasoning. Just tossed in a little olive oil and grated cheese and had a quick and very flavorful lunch on my hands! Can't wait to explore some recipes using this but I can really see this used primarily as a topping for prepared foods that need a little bump in flavor and spice.

I got this for my husband because he loves all things spicy. He is always putting Green Chili or Red pepper flakes on just about everything. He particularly likes to add this seasoning on top of pizza and enchiladas. I can't handle the spice, so this allows us to cook a less spicy dish and he can kick it up a few notches before he eats. He uses just a few pinches at a time, so this container has lasted a few months already but costs no more than what you would pay for spices at the store.

This happened to arrive on pizza night, so we tried half a pizza with it and half a pizza without. There was a huge difference. This made the pizza taste a lot better. You can taste the extra salt for sure, but the spice/pepper seasoning really adds something to pizza. The salt is not overwhelming, nor is the heat. We can't wait to try it on other foods.

I'm not one of those masochistic folks who likes to see how much heat I can withstand in my food — I find that accompaniments that add too much heat tend to drown out all the other more subtle flavors in a dish. That's why I think this chili sea salt hits the sweet spot with just the right amount of zing without being overwhelming. It livened my rather boring morning eggs and made my air fryer chicken wings a bit more flavorful as well. Just a small pinch or two is sufficient, so my little pot of salt should last a good long while and be a good value.
