Had assumed because of the good reviews that it is this product actually times is a smoke salt, in which keeps the flavor of what the smell promises, but unfortunately I was once again disappointed! The smell of salt is really very intense smoky, but at just over a minimal, almost imperceptible to bring touch of smoke flavor to the food, you have these already totally over salted as. Also a fine grinding in the salt mill to completely disrupt the flavorings, brought a better result. That may not be the purpose of a flavoring spice !? This was, incidentally, confirmed unanimously by all family members and my many guests who tasted the spiced with this savory. For me personally, this salt is therefore not a viable alternative to the previously used by me smoke oil "Fire & Glass BBQ smoke-oil Liquid Hickory Smoke", which gives the dishes, depending on the dosage, a very pleasant mild or strong smoke flavor and I still have the possibility to the extent to salt, how I like it! About taste but you should really not arguing in this case. If someone like very strong like salted, will be sure to achieve even the desired smoke flavor with this salt! :-)
