Developed with the Campus Dining team, the officially licensed seasonings come in Orange Mojo, Orange Cardamom and Orange Chipotle varieties.
You've got your 'Cuse T-shirt, 'Cuse sweatshirt and 'Cuse car decal. Now you can show Orange pride in your cooking too. Syracuse Salt Co. has partnered with Syracuse University's Campus Dining team to create a trio of 'Cuse Flake Salts. The seasonings are officially licensed by Syracuse University and produced by Syracuse Salt Co. in small batches for maximum flavor.
"We are thrilled for this opportunity to collaborate with Syracuse University and create new salt products that bring Orange pride and a bit of orange flavor to the kitchen and table," says Syracuse Salt Co. co-founder David Iannicello.
Syracuse was once the salt capital of the United States, hence the city's nickname, the "Salt City.'' Syracuse Salt Co. continues the storied history of local salt production with its flagship Salt City Flake Salt and extensive line of flavor-infused salts. All of the salts are made using brine harvested 280 feet below the ground in Syracuse.
The three new orange-themed 'Cuse Salts are pale orange in color, vibrant in taste and versatile in the kitchen.
Orange Mojo Flake Salt: The citrus and spice notes of this salt add zest to seafood, poultry and vegetables. Sprinkle some on before grilling or roasting or use it as a tasty finishing touch.
Orange Cardamon Flake Salt: This salt combines the brightness of orange with warm, fragrant cardamom. Use it as a finishing salt for grilled fish and roasted vegetables, sprinkle it on ice cream or experiment with it in baking.
Orange Chipotle Flake Salt: Orange Chipotle Flake Salt is a vibrant fusion of citrus brightness and smoky heat. The dynamic flavor profile of this seasoning complements grilled meats and roasted vegetables. Making cocktails? Orange Chipotle Flake makes a lively rim seasoning.
New 'Cuse Salts Flavors to Be Featured in Campus Catering
Syracuse University Catering Executive Chef Bryan Hammond collaborated with the team at Syracuse Salt Co. to develop the flavors of the new 'Cuse Salts.
"We're excited to incorporate these new seasonings into our recipes on campus," says Hammond. "Students, guests and fans can expect an extra bit of orange flavor this upcoming season."
'Cuse Flake Salts retail for $12 per jar and are also available as a three-pack for $33. Look for the salts at Syracuse-area retailers, including Bee Kind on Tipperary Hill, Witty Wicks at Township 5 in Camillus and the Syracuse Salt Co. company store at 333 Pulaski St., Syracuse. The salts are available online at www.syracusesaltco.com.
