Why we love it

Since 1882, Maldon salt has been made with the same traditional artisan methods of hand harvesting salt flakes from the coastal town of Maldon, UK since 1882. The Maldon salt works are run by the 4th generation of the Osborne family.  The soft crunchy flakes are loved by chefs and aspiring cooks the world over, to bring a bit of textural crunch and enhance the flavors of a dish when used as a finishing salt.

Seawater is carefully harvested on the spring tides every two weeks. There’s an art in temperature and timing which is the Osborne family secret. Using traditional methods, they hand harvest sea salt flakes to ensure they are simply perfect in both taste and texture. The curious pyramid crystals have always been the company's trademark. So much of the flavor of sea salt is in the shape of the crystals and the way they are experienced on the tongue. Maldon’s flakes release their saltiness with sweet precision and add another layer of texture and crunch. They are tactile and best served by taking a generous pinch and crushing between fingers and thumb. Approved by “Organic Food Federation”, Maldon salt has a perfect balance of minerals with no additives.
