Product overview
Smoky Overload is a decadent two-layered clay creation crafted for enthusiasts who crave deep smoky character and classic earthy clay flavours. Each square combines a lighter smoky layer with a richer dark smoky base, creating a complex flavour journey that balances gentle smokiness with deeper mineral intensity.
The lighter layer blends Half Roasted Nakumatt, Fully Roasted Nakumatt, Smoked Nakumatt, and Red Nakumatt, delivering subtle smoky notes with a clean grey clay profile. Beneath it sits the darker layer, made from Matapulgite, Smoked Nakumatt, Coconut Smokey, and Red Nakumatt, adding depth, richness, and a stronger earthy character.
The result is a layered clay experience where each bite reveals both light smoky tones and darker mineral notes. With its smooth finish and crumbly structure, Smoky Overload offers a rich, satisfying indulgence for seasoned clay enthusiasts who appreciate roasted and smoked clay blends.
Texture & crunch
Smoky Overload has a soft yet firm structure created from compressed clay dust. The bite produces a dull, crumbly crunch that breaks down into very fine crumbs. The texture remains smooth, dry, and non-sticky throughout, with no grit and a light, dusty crumble that enhances the overall sensory experience.
Taste & aroma
The flavour is strongly mineral and cement-like, typical of grey Nakumatt clay. Dry, earthy notes dominate the palate, complemented by subtle smokiness from the roasted and smoked clay blend. Hints of basement-like mineral depth and gentle earthy undertones round out the experience, creating a layered smoky profile that lingers softly after each bite.
Clay experience
Each brownie-style square delivers a balanced contrast between the lighter smoky layer and the darker, more intense base. The crumbly texture and layered clay composition create a slow, evolving flavour experience that rewards those who enjoy traditional roasted clay blends with smoky complexity.
