Frequently Asked Questions
“Are your products really smoky?”
Absolutely, Yes! Our robust and rich smoky aroma and flavor is what sets us apart from anything else you’ll find on the shelf.
As you know, a first impression is difficult to overcome. One of the most enjoyable experiences with Abraham’s products is that initial gripping aroma that you get the moment you twist the lid off of our glass jars. The beauty of the smoke-rich, savory fragrance from our proprietary wood blend bridges the gap between campfire memories and a five-star dining experience.
So, yes! It is definitely smoky and mimics the flavor of food cooked over an open flame! Rest assured, new customer; we’re not just blowin’ smoke. We’re driving it deep into the heart of our products.
“What type of salt do you use?”
Our American/Canadian-sourced, medium-flaked kosher salt is a celebration of simplicity, purity, and control in the kitchen. Its clean, mineral-bright flavor is free from the slightly bitter, metallic notes often found in iodized table salt.
The size of flake was chosen as the optimal vessel, having the perfect amount of surface area to saturate with smoky richness. Our flakes are sized for tactile precision; hold a pinch between your thumb and forefinger, and you’ll feel the difference—spreading evenly across a roast, steak, or vegetables in a way that ensures consistency and beauty in every bite.
More than just seasoning, our salt is a tool—trusted by chefs, favored by home cooks, and essential in any kitchen where flavor, texture, and technique truly matter.
“How are your seasonings smoked?”
At Abraham’s Spices, we take immense pride in the way we smoke our products—using a proprietary blend of sustainably-sourced Northwest wood that we harvest and process entirely by hand. This meticulous, hands-on approach ensures not only the highest quality but also a deep respect for the environment and our craft. Unlike many commercial smoking pellets that rely on binders or glues, our wood blend is 100% natural—NO additives, chemicals, or fillers. The result is a clean, authentic smoke that infuses our spices with a rich, nuanced flavor you can taste in every pinch.
We smoke all of our spices in small batches over several hours to ensure deep, even flavor development. Throughout the process, we frequently layer and rotate the spices to allow every granule to absorb the rich, smoky essence evenly. This careful attention results in a balanced yet robust flavor profile that enhances any dish without overpowering it.
