Salt Set Story

The simple joy of dipping crusty bites of bread in a small pool of amber colored olive oil is one that we particularly relish at Beyond the Shaker, especially when that oil is enhanced by our flavor rich salt blends. We've taken this lovely appetizer combination one step (actually, three steps) further with our Oil Dipping Trio.

Our Oil Dipping Trio is a delectable salt package comprised of a jar of each of our Chef's Blend, French Herb Blend and Citrus Basil salt. As with all of our sets, we also throw in one of our hand crafted olive wood spoons to assist you in heaping your new gourmet salts onto your favorite dipping oils. All of this, and at a reduced price, makes our Oil Dipping Trio quite a tasty deal.

First in this trio, we provide you with a jar of our Chef's Blend, which is a natural choice to pair with olive oil. This is a sophisticated version of the ubiquitous "Salt and Pepper" duo. The Chef's Blend is composed of pure unrefined Sel Gris, a mildly briny, hand-harvest salt from France, along with high-quality, ground black, red and white peppercorns. Simple and delicious, this salt matches beautifully with olive oil.

Next, we add to the trio a jar of our French Herb Blend since it really shines when sprinkled on a generous serving of olive oil. This salt includes a wonderful bounty of dried herbs that were inspired by the French countryside, including rosemary, thyme, oregano and lavender. You'll be transported to an idyllic, windswept cottage in the rolling hills of southern France every time you try this salt, especially as the olive oil works to release many of the floral aromas of the blend.

The final premium salt blend in this trio is a jar of our Citrus Basil, which will help take your bread-and-oil ritual to a new level of flavor. In this blend, we use authentic lemon myrtle, a bush plant from Australia, to provide a refreshing citrus note without the aroma of a cleaning-solution. To further heighten the taste of citrus, we add organic lemon and lime peel that have been carefully dried to perfection. Organic basil combines well with the flourish of citrus, and also adds to the textural experience of the salt. The result is a a perfect balance of citrus-tartness to the almost-sweet crisp nature of our dried basil, all of which is structured behind some of our favorite salts, including light and flaky Murray River salt (which, like lemon myrtle, also calls Australia home). Spread our Citrus Basil blend on olive oil, tear off a piece of hearty French baguette, and proceed to yummy-nirvana...your taste buds will be begging for more.

As you can probably tell, we think our Oil Dipping Trio is too good to pass up. Remember that our aim at Beyond the Shaker is to craft highly-versatile salt blends, so olive oil is just one application that this trio excels at...certainly do not limit yourself solely to dipping! In fact, you will discover many more suggested uses for these blends on their detailed description pages under our Beyond Blends collection.

Beyond the Shaker sets are a great way to experience a variety of gourmet blended salts at a discounted price, and they make a heck of a great present.
