Product information

Maple salt is a unique and flavorful condiment that combines the salinity of sea salt with the natural sweetness of maple syrup. Originating from Canada, it has become a popular ingredient in Quebec cuisine and is increasingly appreciated worldwide.

Maple salt is typically prepared by mixing sea salt with pure maple syrup. Sometimes, other ingredients are added to enhance the flavor and texture, such as spices (black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder), herbs (thyme, rosemary), sugars (brown sugar, cane sugar), or citrus zest (lemon, orange). The ratio of salt to maple syrup can vary according to the recipe and individual preferences.

Maple salt offers a unique and savory flavor profile that combines the salinity of sea salt with the sweetness and caramel notes of maple syrup. This combination creates a complex and balanced flavor that enhances the taste of foods without overpowering them.

Maple salt is a versatile condiment that can be used in various ways in cooking. Here are some examples:

• Seasoning meats: Maple salt is ideal for seasoning steaks, pork chops, chicken breasts, and other meats before cooking. It adds a savory and caramelized flavor that pairs particularly well with grilled and roasted dishes. 
• Finishing dishes: Maple salt can be used to add a salty and sweet finishing touch to various dishes, such as vegetable purees, risottos, pastas, and salads. 
• Dips and sauces: Maple salt can be added to dips and sauces for a unique and refined flavor. It pairs particularly well with barbecue sauces, dressings, and aiolis. 
• Popcorn and nuts: Maple salt can be sprinkled on popcorn or roasted nuts for a savory and addictive snack. 
• Desserts: Maple salt can be used to add a salty and sweet touch to certain desserts, such as brownies, biscuits, and cookies.

In addition to its unique flavor, maple salt may offer some potential health benefits: 

• Source of antioxidants: Maple syrup is naturally rich in antioxidants, which can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. 
• Minerals: Sea salt contains essential minerals, such as magnesium and potassium, which are important for overall health. 
• Reduced sodium: Maple salt can be used as a partial replacement for table salt, which may help reduce sodium intake.

Maple salt keeps well at room temperature in an airtight container. It is important to keep it away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve its flavor and texture. Under proper storage conditions, maple salt should stay fresh for several months.
