5 Ways to Use Gourmet Salt in Your Cooking

Diamond Field Blooms gourmet salts — Peppadew Garlic Onion Salt and Rosemary Salt for South African cooking

Salt is the most powerful ingredient in your kitchen — and when it's an artisan gourmet salt, it can transform an ordinary meal into something truly memorable. At Diamond Field Blooms, we craft two signature gourmet salts that bring bold, beautiful flavour to everything they touch. Here are five delicious ways to use them.

1. Finish Your Braai Meat

There's nothing quite like a South African braai, and the right finishing salt takes it to the next level. Sprinkle our Peppadew, Garlic & Onion Gourmet Salt over your steak, chops, or boerewors just before serving. The heat of the meat releases the aromatics and creates an incredible crust of flavour.

2. Elevate Roasted Vegetables

Toss your favourite vegetables in olive oil, roast until golden, then finish with a generous pinch of our Rosemary Salt. The earthy, fragrant rosemary pairs beautifully with butternut, sweet potato, baby potatoes, and carrots.

3. Season Homemade Bread

Sprinkle Rosemary Salt over focaccia dough before baking for a classic Italian-inspired loaf that fills your kitchen with the most incredible aroma. It also works beautifully on homemade rolls, flatbreads, and pizza bases.

4. Spice Up Your Eggs

Scrambled eggs, fried eggs, or a simple omelette — a pinch of Peppadew, Garlic & Onion Gourmet Salt adds a gentle kick and depth of flavour that plain salt simply can't match.

5. Create a Stunning Cheese Board

Place small bowls of both our gourmet salts on your next cheese board alongside crackers, biltong, and fresh fruit. Both salts also make wonderful gifts for the food lovers in your life.
