As the name suggests, Viking Salt is a spice blend that pays homage to the warriors of the North. While the exact recipe might not be authentic, the smoking technique used to create the smoked salt is indeed a Nordic tradition.
 
The blend itself is a unique combination of smoked salt, black pepper, onion, and turmeric, creating a bold and spicy flavor that is perfect for adding a bit of excitement to your dishes.
 
The smoked salt, made with hickory and cherry wood, adds a depth of flavor that perfectly complements the spice of the black pepper and the warmth of the turmeric. The onion brings a subtle sweetness to the blend, balancing out the intensity of the other spices.
 
While we can't say for sure how the Vikings would have used this blend, we think it's perfect for adding a bit of Nordic flair to any meal. It's particularly delicious when used as a seasoning for beef, chicken, and vegetables, and it's also great for adding a bit of punch to salads.
