A limited-edition trio of Pure Flake, Pure Kosher, and Infused Pinot Noir slide tins, illustrated by artist Kate Towers. A beautiful stocking stuffer for foodies who appreciate great design with their salt. Refillable, and ready for a bag or a picnic basket.

Pure Flake Sea Salt cold-smoked over cherrywood. Campfire depth from an indoor kitchen, for the griller cooking through the dead of winter. Sprinkle it on roasted potatoes, deviled eggs, or tomato soup.

Black Pepper Salt, Pure Flake Sea Salt, and Steak Seasoning cover a cook from the marinade to the final flourish.

Customer review: “We added these seasonings to our steaks and they were the BEST steaks we have ever had!! So good!!”

– Traci

Black garlic, Pure Kosher Sea Salt, sun-dried tomato, three chiles, cacao nibs from Portland's Cloudforest, and mushroom: savory, smoky, and quietly spicy.

Customer review: “Added some great oomph to my boring bean soup!”

– Gayla

Made in partnership with Snow Peak, this flake salt pairs with yuzu from Kawanehon, Japan: tart, floral, and mildly sweet. The kind of unique food gift that makes a cook stop and ask what it is. Scatter it over grilled fish, avocado toast, or a highball rim.
