Simple, small batch sea salt blends made by hand in Suffolk. Two ingredients each, no fillers, and a jar that will quietly improve almost everything you cook.
Pinches Provisions was started in late 2022 by mother and daughter Jan and Kate at Walsham le Willows, near Bury St Edmunds, and family friend John has since joined as the third partner. Jan still makes every product by hand in small batches, which is why the flavours are so much brighter than a supermarket jar.
These are finishing salts rather than cooking salts. Use them at the end, where you can actually taste them.
Chilli Salt
Natural sea salt with a big dose of dried red chilli flakes. Properly spicy rather than a token pinch of heat. Try it on eggs, corn on the cob, roasted cauliflower, or anything coming off a barbecue.
Rosemary Salt
Sea salt with plenty of fragrant dried rosemary. The obvious partner for lamb, roast potatoes and focaccia, and it works beautifully rubbed into chicken skin before roasting.
Lemon Salt
Zesty and sharp, made with sea salt and dried lemon peel. Lovely on white fish, roast potatoes and a plain green salad. Pinches have stopped making this one, so once our last jars are gone, they are gone.
Sprinkle over food as it comes off the heat, or scatter across a finished dish at the table. Because there are no anti-caking agents, the salt can clump a little over time. Give the jar a shake or a tap and it will loosen up. Keep in a cool dry place to protect the flavour.

None of the three salts contain allergenic ingredients.
However, all Pinches products are made in a home kitchen that handles known allergens, so they are not suitable for anyone with an allergy to celery, cereals containing gluten (including wheat, barley and oats), crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, peanuts, sesame, soybeans, sulphur dioxide and sulphites or tree nuts.
Are Pinches salts vegan?
Yes. Each one is just sea salt and a dried flavouring.
Is there anything else in the jar?
No. There are no fillers, bulking agents or anti-caking agents, which is unusual for flavoured salts and the reason the flavour is so pronounced.
Which one should I start with?
Rosemary is the most versatile if you do a lot of roasting. Chilli is the one people come back for. Lemon is the best of the three with fish and salads.
How long does a jar last?
Pinches give their salts an 18 month best before date from production, and a 50g jar goes a long way as a finishing salt. Keep the lid on and store it somewhere cool and dry.
Where are they made?
By hand in small batches at Walsham le Willows, near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.
