Black Forge No. 4

Forged Steakhouse Blend

Black Forge No. 4 is a bold, savory steakhouse blend made for steak, burgers, mushrooms, roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, meatloaf, beef sandwiches, and cast-iron dinners. It brings smoky depth, umami-rich flavor, savory spices, and a dramatic dark finish that makes food look seared, forged, and full of character.

This blend was made for meals that need a bigger, deeper flavor without relying on heat. Shiitake mushroom powder adds savory umami, smoke adds depth, and food-grade activated charcoal gives Black Forge its signature dark finish. It is powerful enough for steak night but still easy to use on everyday dinners.

The name Black Forge is inspired by the heat, ironwork, and hardworking trades connected to Syracuse’s Erie Canal days. It carries that darker, bolder side of Salt City history — smoke, steel, fire, and food with a little grit.

Flavor profile: bold, savory, smoky, umami-rich, steakhouse-style, deep finish.

Best on: steak, burgers, mushrooms, roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, meatloaf, beef sandwiches, and cast-iron dinners.

Ingredient highlights: Syracuse flake salt, shiitake mushroom powder, garlic, onion, applewood smoke, savory spices, and food-grade activated charcoal.

About the charcoal: Black Forge includes a small amount of food-grade activated charcoal for its signature dark finish and visual character. It is used for color and presentation, not to overpower the flavor.
