Vampire Salt: Because Garlic Deserves Its Own Legend

Some say garlic keeps vampires away. We’re not making any promises, but with the right salt and oil, your kitchen might just be the safest place after dark. Around here, we’ve taken that superstition and given it a salty Syracuse spin — meet our Vampire Salt lineup: garlic-rich salts and oils that make everything taste better, whether you’re warding off the undead or just bad flavor.

The Garlic Arsenal

We’ve got a trio worth stocking:

• Black Garlic Flake Salt. Slow-fermented garlic blended with our signature Syracuse Salt Co. flake for deep, earthy, umami-rich flavor.
• Roasted Garlic Flake Salt. Golden roasted garlic folded into flake salt for a mellow, buttery punch.
• Garlic Olive Oil. Made in partnership with Clean Slate Farm; a smooth, rich olive oil infused with just the right hit of garlic.

Using Vampire Salt When the Night Gets Weird

Maybe you’re not inviting vampires in, but if you were… sprinkle a ring of Black Garlic Flake Salt across your doorway. Legend says garlic keeps them out; we say it keeps the flavor in. Keep a dish of Roasted Garlic Flake Salt on the table because nothing says “don’t bite me” like roasted garlic toast. And if all else fails, a quick swipe of Garlic Olive Oil behind each ear couldn’t hurt (at least not in the kitchen).

Fun, No-Fuss Garlic Magic

• Garlic Bread, Leveled Up: Warm a baguette, brush with Garlic Olive Oil, sprinkle with Roasted Garlic Flake Salt before baking for instant hero move.
• Movie Night Popcorn: Melt butter with a drizzle of Garlic Olive Oil, toss with hot popcorn, and dust with Black Garlic Flake Salt for a deep, savory kick.
• Lazy Pasta Night: Toss hot spaghetti with Garlic Olive Oil, add a pinch of both salts, and pretend you planned dinner all along.
• Charcuterie Shortcut: A pinch of Black Garlic Flake Salt on soft cheese makes you look like you know things.

Garlic Is Serious Business (Sort Of)

Is any of this scientifically proven vampire defense? Probably not. Does it make your food taste so good you won’t care? Absolutely. Just stock up, have fun, and cook like you mean it.
