Product Description
Size: 8.5 Ounces
Maldon's fragile, flaky pyramid sea salt crystals are loved by the world's top chefs and home cooks alike. The salt is hand harvested on the shores of England next to the black Essex weather-board buildings that have housed the family owned company since 1882. Used as a finishing salt, the large but low density salt awakens the tongue to flavors that otherwise lie dormant in foods. Meaty burgers and dense chocolate brownies both find new life with Maldon.

There are many different varieties of sea salt out there. What makes Maldon unique is its large, pyramidal flakes. Some people use it for general cooking, but it really shines best as a finishing salt. That means cook with less salt, but sprinkle salt on the finished dish. You really get a chance to experience the unique characteristics (primarily texture) of each salt that way, and Maldon has a light crunch that I find very pleasant.
Some people claim to be able to taste the difference between salts, but as long as there are no additives, I find all sea salts taste the same. The pleasant texture and relatively reasonable cost make Maldon an excellent choice.
Regardless of whether or not you buy this salt, try tasting a standard table salt next to a sea salt. The iodine and anti-caking agents have a distinct and unpleasant bitterness. If you're not willing to get spendy on sea salt, at least find a salt with no additives, something like Diamond Crystal Kosher salt.

I first tried this salt in a cooking class, and fell in love with it. The salt crystals are little pyramids, and it's extremely salty, so if you don't like the salt taste, this is not the salt for you.
Definitely will be used in my kitchen for many years to come.

I love Maldon salt. I discovered it when we visited England and had carefully hoarded my box until my daughter, when visiting England brought me back a box.
Maldon salt is large square bowls of salt mixed with big broken chunks, perfect for on top of bread or vegetables.
This box will last a very long time making it a very affordable luxury.

wonderful finishing salt!
It is flakey and crunchy, tastes great but has 580 mg. sodium. A small sprinkle on the French fries is great. A little goes a long way. Read more

I love salt and this is a great finishing salt. The packaging could use some improvement, as it was crushed in shipping

Very big flakes and chunks..
Not a salt that is easy to use in my salt pot, but it has a nice flavor and is not an intense salt. I'll keep looking.

Flaky salty goodness
This salt has great flavor and even better texture. Is excellent sprinkled over anything you want saltier. Steamed veggies or even a hard cheese.

A Salt With Great Quantity
This item features large crystals of salt. When adding to this to any meal, it is best to pour the right amount because a normal intake of salt might be too much in this case. Read more

Salt like you never tasted it before!
I have tried the salt flakes from Turkey. They are great, but these are just as good and much cheaper. A win win :0)
