I love this salt !! it has a very pleasant smoky smell when unscrewing the vial, and the taste is subtle smoky and salty. Exactly as I imagined and as I like :) I use it like a final kick when seasoning for our steaks, baked potato with butter, even something as simple as a sandwich taste with a hint of this salt just fantastic. We have now re-ordered it a few times and this will certainly like to do in the future!
