Maldon is the most celebrated finishing salt in the world, hand harvested on the Essex coast of England since 1882 and a fixture in the kitchens of chefs everywhere. What sets these Maldon sea salt flakes apart is the shape of their crystals, distinctive hollow pyramid shaped flakes that form only through Maldon’s traditional method.

Those flakes are the whole point. They provide a unique, satisfying crunch and a delicate crispness quite unlike ordinary granular salt, and they carry a clean, mild, slightly sweet flavour with none of the harsh bitterness of many refined salts. Pinched between the fingers and scattered over a dish, they deliver little bursts of bright, pure salinity and a pleasing texture.

This is a finishing salt above all, meant to be added at the last moment rather than dissolved in cooking. It is scattered over grilled and roasted meats, fish and seafood, salads and roasted vegetables, and it is equally at home on breads, on fried eggs and, famously, over chocolate, caramel and desserts. Supplied in a 250g box.
