Crowd pleaser

Ember

The gentle one. The same fine golden sea salt and savoury herb depth, with a warm, rounded glow instead of a roar.

$1869g jar

Every batch is handmade, so colours vary slightly from jar to jar. That's not a flaw. It's proof.

Three reasons it's different.

Real Reaper heat
in two strengths.

Both are made with the Carolina Reaper. Inferno carries the full dose. Ember uses about half as much and lands as a warm glow instead of a roar.

It tastes
of something.

Sea salt, chilli and seven herbs are blended by hand and then smoked together. The result is smoky and savoury and never bitter. It goes on at the end, a pinch at a time.

Before you pick a jar.

How hot is it, really?

Both jars are made with the legendary Carolina Reaper. Inferno carries the full dose. Ember uses about half as much, so it warms rather than roars. Either way it's a finishing salt and a pinch is the dose. The heat builds over a few seconds rather than hitting all at once.

Which one should I start with?

If you're not sure, start with Ember. If you already chase heat, go straight to Inferno. The Duo gives you one of each in a gift box and saves $2 on the pair.

What's in it?

Australian sea salt, Carolina Reaper chillies and seven herbs. We blend them by hand and then smoke the whole batch. No anti-caking agents and no additives. The herb recipe stays between us. It's handmade in a kitchen that also handles other foods, so it may contain traces of nuts, gluten, dairy, soy or sesame.

How do I use it?

It goes on last and never in the pot. Try it on eggs while the yolk is still running, on steak once it has rested and on hot chips the second they land. It also works on avo toast, grilled corn, a margarita rim and dark chocolate. A 69g jar is months of pinches. More ways to use it.

How much is shipping?

We ship within Australia only. You'll see live Australia Post rates at checkout once you enter your postcode. Standard shipping is free from $68, so two Duos ship free. Orders leave Melbourne within one to three business days and come with tracking.

Can I send it as a gift?

Yes. The Duo comes in a kraft gift box and there's a gift-note field at checkout.
