Saltwest Naturals – Smashed Peppercorn & Sea Salt

Smashed Peppercorn & Sea Salt is a classic coarse grind blend of freshly smashed black peppercorns and hand-harvested Canadian sea salt from Vancouver Island. This rustic, flavour-forward combination brings together the bright salinity of Pacific coast sea salt with the warm, earthy bite of Tellicherry-style peppercorns — all smashed to release their aromatic oils before being mixed by hand in small batches in Sooke, British Columbia. It’s the go-to finish for steak, eggs, roasted vegetables, and anything that needs a punch of savory depth without reaching for a grinder.

Freshly Smashed Black Peppercorns For Maximum Aroma: Rather than grinding peppercorns at the last minute, Saltwest smashes them beforehand to release their essential oils and aromatics. The result is a more immediate, upfront pepper presence that doesn’t rely on friction or heat to wake up — each pinch delivers that classic heat and citrus-woodsy notes you’d expect from high-quality Tellicherry peppercorns.

Hand-Harvested Sea Salt From Vancouver Island Waters: The sea salt base comes from the pristine North Pacific coast off Vancouver Island, where Saltwest harvests in small batches to ensure quality and consistency. Every bag is then blended with the smashed peppercorns and packed in Sooke, British Columbia, carrying a distinctly coastal Canadian story. There are no anti-caking agents, no fillers, nothing added beyond the two simple ingredients listed.

Built For Grilling, Steak, And Savory Finishing: Saltwest highlights steak, eggs, and mushrooms as the top pairings, but this blend also shines on roasted potatoes, grilled chicken, seared salmon, sautéed greens, and even buttered corn on the cob. The 40 g bag is a practical size for everyday grilling or tucking into a gift basket alongside other Saltwest flavours like Applewood Smoked or Lemon Dill.
