The Spice Lab Scotch Bonnet Sea Salt

When ordinary salt does not bring enough heat, The Spice Lab Scotch Bonnet Sea Salt adds intense peppery spice with a subtly sweet character. Built around the famously hot Scotch Bonnet pepper, this spicy finishing and cooking salt makes it easy to add both seasoning and serious heat in one step.

Use it carefully in salsa, sauces, soups and stews, or experiment with it anywhere a recipe needs salt plus a fiery chile kick. Choose the French jar for the home kitchen or stock the 1-pound and 2-pound resealable bags for BBQ restaurants, food trucks, caterers and other high-volume kitchens that regularly serve spicy food.

Scotch Bonnet peppers are known for substantial heat. The supplied product information notes that a Scotch Bonnet can be up to 40 times hotter than a typical jalapeño pepper, making this a seasoning best used thoughtfully when building heat into a dish.

The pepper is known by different names around the world, including Ball-of-Fire Pepper in Guyana, Githeyo Mirus in the Maldives and aji chombo in Panama. Whatever the name, this seasoning is intended for cooks looking for pronounced chile heat rather than a mild pepper accent.

Because this blend combines sea salt with Scotch Bonnet heat, it can season a dish while introducing pepper character at the same time. Add it gradually to salsa or sauces, or incorporate it into soups and stews where its heat can be distributed throughout the dish.

Start with a small amount, taste and add more as needed. This approach gives you better control over both the salt level and the Scotch Bonnet heat.

The 1-pound and 2-pound resealable bags make Scotch Bonnet Sea Salt available for cooks who need more than a standard retail jar. These bulk foodservice sizes can be useful for BBQ restaurants, food trucks, caterers, concession vendors and commercial kitchens that regularly prepare spicy menu items.

For smaller operations, the larger formats provide a convenient way to keep a signature spicy salt available for repeated batches of sauces, salsa, soups and stews.

• Heat lovers looking for a seriously spicy salt.
• Home cooks experimenting with Scotch Bonnet flavor.
• BBQ cooks who want a fiery seasoning option in the pantry.
• Food trucks serving spicy sauces, salsa or other chile-forward dishes.
• BBQ restaurants and caterers looking for bulk foodservice spices.
• Commercial kitchens that regularly prepare high-heat menu items.

• Start with a small amount and increase gradually because Scotch Bonnet peppers can deliver substantial heat.
• When seasoning soups and stews, allow the salt to disperse before tasting and adding more.
• Use measured additions when developing sauces or salsa so you can control both heat and salinity.
• Keep the 1-pound or 2-pound resealable bag on hand for higher-volume restaurant, catering or food truck applications.
