Smoked Sea Salt Pack of 6

$42.00

MSRP:

Cold-smoked hickory sea salt is swirled into creamy, slow-cultured butter to create a savory, smoky flavor with a slightly spicy finish that perfectly complements all your grilled goodies from fish oysters to your butcher shop sirloin steak.

Because we use the freshest cream and we culture and batch churn in a process that takes up to 20 times longer than mass-production methods, our unsalted butter stands alone with superior flavor and creaminess.

Stock Up! Choose from a pack of 6, 8 and 12 butters or Mix & Match 6 or Mix & Match 12

You can freeze your butter for up to 12 months. Once you’ve put it in the refrigerator, you should eat it within 6 weeks. Not sure you can eat it all that quickly? Try putting half in the freezer, and the other half in the refrigerator.
