Adventurer’s Notes
Phoenix Salt earned its name from its remarkable ability to breathe new life into even the simplest dishes. The citrus lifts every flavour, the toasted coriander adds warmth, while the delicate crunch of flaky sea salt delivers a satisfying finish. It’s the sort of seasoning that quietly turns a good meal into one that’s remembered.

Merchant’s Tip
Never cook with Phoenix Salt. Always sprinkle it over food just before serving to preserve the delicate citrus oils, crisp salt flakes and aromatic spices that make this blend so special.
