Cut to the Smoke is a family-run Hampshire business built on a shared passion for exceptional flavour and making great cooking simple.
What began during lockdown as a project to create better BBQ rubs has grown into a carefully crafted collection of smoked salts, spice blends and seasonings, each developed to take the hard work out of cooking. Instead of buying cupboard after cupboard of individual spices, our expertly balanced blends give you everything you need in one tin.
Every recipe is handcrafted using carefully selected ingredients to deliver bold, memorable flavour without the measuring, guesswork or wasted spices. Whether you’re grilling, roasting, marinating or creating a quick midweek meal, our blends are designed to help you cook with confidence.
Recognised with multiple Great Taste Awards, our seasonings are made with one simple belief: incredible food shouldn’t be complicated. We create blends that help you spend less time measuring and more time sharing great food with the people you love.
At Cut To The Smoke, flavour begins with carefully selected ingredients. Every element is chosen for the character it brings, allowing us to create seasonings with depth, balance and a distinctive finish.
Cornish sea salt: We use quality Cornish sea salt across our salt and seasoning ranges. Selected varieties are smoked over different woods to create flavours ranging from mellow and gently sweet to deep and robust.
Coconut and date sugar: These naturally rich sugars add rounded sweetness and caramel-like depth, helping to balance smoke, spice and chilli warmth.
Chillies chosen for flavour: Our blends use chillies such as Ancho, Pasilla, De Árbol, Meco and Guajillo for their fruity, smoky and earthy characteristics—not simply for heat.
Aromatic herbs and spices: Carefully selected ingredients including coriander, cumin, garlic, cardamom, rosemary and thyme bring warmth, freshness and complexity to each recipe.
Thoughtfully balanced recipes: Every blend is developed to complement food rather than overpower it, with no unnecessary fillers or artificial preservatives.
Our commitment to craftsmanship extends beyond the ingredients. We have produced high quality labels which have a gold overprint and an anti-scuff coating to be durable, Every refill product is presented in fully recyclable pouches, selected for their ability to maintain freshness while reducing environmental impact.
In keeping with our artisan approach, we hand-stamp each of our new range of smoked salt stoneware jars in-house using etched steel plates, ensuring a distinct, handcrafted finish. No two are identical—each one carries the mark of our dedication to detail, quality, and authenticity.
At Cut to the Smoke, every step of the process—from sourcing and blending to packaging and presentation—is carried out with purpose. Our mission is simple: to create premium seasonings that honour the craft of fine cooking.
Our seasonings are created to enhance food without overpowering it. Sweet, smoky, savoury and warming ingredients are carefully balanced to build layers of flavour across grilling, roasting and everyday cooking.
From meat and fish to vegetables, grains and marinades, our blends are designed to work across a wide range of dishes—making it easy to add depth and character with every sprinkle.
Our packaging is designed to reflect the same care and craftsmanship as the seasonings inside. Our refillable stoneware jars are individually hand-stamped in-house, giving each one its own subtle character and authentic artisan finish.
We create the designs and produce the etched steel plates used for stamping, allowing us to maintain control over the finished appearance and develop distinctive packaging for new and limited-edition products. The process combines careful design, traditional techniques and plenty of hands-on attention.
We begin by preparing the artwork and transferring it onto a photoresist-coated steel plate. The coating is then developed to reveal the design and create the mask used during etching.
The prepared plate is carefully placed into an etching solution, which removes the exposed areas of steel and leaves behind the engraved design. The process is closely controlled to create a crisp, detailed plate ready for stamping.
Once etched, the steel plate is thoroughly cleaned and polished to reveal a smooth, sharply defined design. It is then carefully checked and prepared for use in the hand-stamping process.
Our signature gold finish is prepared by hand before each stoneware jar is individually stamped using the etched steel plate. Small natural variations make every jar subtly unique and reflect its handcrafted character.
Once stamped, the jars are left to cure fully so the gold finish becomes durable. Each jar is then carefully inspected, cleaned and prepared for filling in accordance with our food-handling procedures.
