Just a pinch of Keep it Savory Salt Co.’s small-batch salt is transformative. Sprinkle a bit of this Chicago company’s Lemon Thyme to elevate humble roast potatoes, or to chicken for a gourmet delight. Or you can even give a cocktail a sophisticated salty rim with Lavender Sage. It’s an easy lift at the end of a busy day.
Watch out, though… Their small-batch sea salt flavors like Hops Flower, Garlic Scape, or Jalapeño Lime get scooped up fast. They’re made of quality ingredients from local Illinois partners like the Windy City Youth Farm.
Keep it Savory touts itself as the only salt company on Chicago’s West Side. Founded ten years ago by teacher Johanna Thompson, Keep it Savory donates a part of its year-end profits to local Chicago organizations working to reduce the effects of legacy racism and disinvestment in their community. You’ll see Thompson’s educational background in the helpful recipe suggestions and the Salt School section of Keep it Savory’s site.
The 3.5-ounce glass wire bale jars make the perfect hostess gift: simple to bring and receive. Or why not give one of their Savory Bundles, like the Creative Connoisseur: Lavender Sage, Vanilla Bean, Mediterranean Citrus, or the Westside is the Best Side: Rosemary Sage, Thai Ginger Lemongrass, Shitake Cremini?
Keep It Savory has learned the subtle magic of a deceptively simple ingredient like salt. Add it to your recipes and see what deliciousness happens.
