Bright, bold, and herby, this jar is packed with everything amazing about California, feeling like savory, herbaceous sunshine. Fresh and potent, slightly floral, and earthy California bay leaves are dried and crushed into flake salt drenched in a slurry of fresh fennel, orange, and lemon. Hand-crushed fennel seeds (wild and domestic) and mustard seeds are blended with smooth, smoky, and piquant spices. Extra wild added with a touch of wild mesquite and desert hibiscus adding a California desert vibe. This zest-forward herbal salt is complex, fragrant, and layered, offering a little bit of everything—yet with a consistent tone, much like California. The light licorice essence from fennel, along with floral and citrus notes of lavender and lemon thyme, keeps the bright, fun flavor profile balanced. Bay leaf’s subtle bitterness and woodsy notes temper the citrus sharpness, creating a harmonious mix of freshness, herbaceousness, and depth. Ideal for your bird brine, Thanksgiving stuffing, green beans, and all seafood long after the holiday passes.
