Roasted Cacao Seasoning Salt
Roasted Cacao Seasoning Salt: A dry blend of culinary salt and finely ground edible flavoring. Salt remains the dominant seasoning, so use a small amount and taste the completed dish before adding more.
Context
Use edible roasted nibs or cocoa, not the husk. Cacao brings bitterness and fat; the term “cacao butter” may instead mean extracted cocoa fat, which is a distinct product.
Example
A menu could use this preparation as a pinch over a finished dish before deciding if more salt is needed. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.
How THT uses it
At The Hidden Table, this preparation would be adjusted to the guests, the course and the ingredient available, so it contributes a clear purpose and helps make the experience distinctly yours.
