Jacobsen starts with their flaky sea salt out of Netarts Bay, then infuses it with real garlic, not garlic powder dust. You get a coarse, uneven crystal that dissolves at different rates on the tongue, so the garlic hits first and the salt lingers after. Use it on roasted potatoes, popcorn, a baked potato split open at the pass, scrambled eggs, garlic bread you’re not making from scratch tonight. It’s a finishing salt first, meaning you sprinkle it on after the pan comes off heat rather than cooking with it, so the garlic stays bright instead of turning bitter and burnt like it does in a saute pan.

What cooks are saying
  • 01Cooks like that the garlic flavor reads as fresh rather than the flat, dusty note they get from garlic powder blends
  • 02Line cooks keep it by the pass for last-second finishing rather than folding it into a dish early
  • 03A few mention the flake size makes it easy to control how much garlic hits versus how much salt hits
Why the pros use it

Every kitchen already has garlic powder in a shaker somewhere, but this earns a separate spot in the salt tin because it does one job the powder can't: it lets you season and add garlic in the same motion, right at the end, without cooking the garlic flavor out of it. That's worth the shelf space next to the flake salt you already reach for a dozen times a shift.
