Details
“A hard smoky crunch with deep roasted earth and mineral notes.”
Smoked Nakumatt is an intensely roasted Indian clay made from authentic Nakumatt clay. Known for its exceptionally hard texture, deep charcoal colour and powerful smoky aroma, the irregular chunks and occasional slab-like pieces deliver a sharp, gritty crunch with a distinctly roasted character. The flavour is unapologetically earthy and atmospheric, combining deep mineral notes with smoky undertones reminiscent of basement dust and warm asphalt, finishing dry and mineral-rich.
