    I have made all but the Pinot salt and really enjoy how they upgrade the taste of everyday foods without much effort. Now that I have tried almost all of them I am going to make a batch of these up and give them as a gift set. Your photos above inspired that smart idea, so thank you for making my life easier!

      Hi Erin, they will be fresh for up to 4-6 months, make sure they are very dry when you package them and store them in a cool dark place. I have used my sriracha salt well over a year now and it still works just like when I made it. The mustard salt changed color a bit but tastes great!
