Ghost Pepper Salt is made by infusing kosher salt with real ghost peppers using a liquid binding process that helps the heat adhere evenly to each crystal. A small amount of chocolate extract is used in that process, not to make the salt taste like chocolate, but to soften the sharp edge of the chile and add a subtle aromatic note that you notice more than you taste. The result is a salt that delivers intense ghost pepper heat with more balance and control, letting you add fire a pinch at a time without overwhelming the dish.
