Zeeuwsche Zoute harvests salt from the waters of the Eastern Scheldt, in Bruinisse in the Netherlands. Alongside their pure, smoked, samphire and black garlic salts, this is the fifth flavour: sea salt with at least 20% chilli and 10% smoked salt.

Taste

First the brine of sea salt, then the warmth of chilli building gently, with a smoky edge in the background. Spicy, but not so hot that you can't taste the rest of your plate.

How I use it

• On eggs: a pinch over fried eggs or a soft-boiled egg.
• On meat: over a steak or lamb chops just before serving.
• On chips: instead of regular salt, for those who like it hot.
• On the glass: as a salt rim for a Bloody Mary or a margarita.

The glass jar makes a nice small gift too, together with another Zeeuwsche Zoute flavour.
