THE A LIST: Bourbon Barrel Foods of Louisville, KY




Well most of you who know me well know that I love artisanal salts and really good peppers. So what could be better as we hit BBQ season but to have Bourbon Smoked Salt and or cracked black pepper! I tried this recently while traveling and fell in love. Plus what’s not to love about Chef Jamie’s philosophy….

Bourbon Smoked Salt:

BBF Bourbon Smoked Sea Salt is unique. They have combined all natural,
solar-evaporated sea salt with the rich aromas of Kentucky's finest aged bourbons. Enjoy Bourbon Smoked Sea Salt on all your favorite grilled meats, or use it to enhance the flavor of fire roasted vegetables and crisp green salads.

Bourbon Smoked Pepper:

Black peppercorns are biting and pungent with hints of pine and citrus. BBF has slow smoked these cracked peppercorns with aged bourbon barrels which give them a wispy hint of smoke and a subtle oaky flavor that is reminiscent of fine Kentucky bourbon.

Bourbon Barrel Foods (BBF) was founded in 2006 by Matt Jamie. Matt's goal is to make quality gourmet sauces and seasonings by adhering to a 3 word philosophy: slow, small, simple. 1. Work slowly with each product and never rush (SLOW). 2. Work in small batches to maintain a hands-on quality (SMALL). 3. Work with simple ingredients (SIMPLE). BBF is located in Louisville, KY inside historic Butchertown Market but can be purchased (multiple sizes) on-line via the link in my blog post.
