Maldon Sea Salt Flakes

Tasting Notes from the Curator

One of the distinguishing notes of the Maldon Sea Salt Flakes is the actual feel of the flakes between the fingers. The salt crystals maintain a pyramid shape, no bigger than a tab of acid, keeps it from caking. It has the look of something valuable and works best as a finishing salt, Maldon is considered less bitter, less salty than other salts. It gives a quick savory zing that doesn’t overpower or overstay.

Preparation

Official Purveyors of Sea Salt

Since 1882, Maldon Sea Salt has been made with the same traditional artisan methods from the coastal town of Maldon. It is unchanging yet ever-changing, constant yet continuously challenging. The salt always stays the same. Four generations of master salt makers have been hand harvesting the naturally formed pyramid crystals that have become Maldon‘s signature. The Osborne‘s have been making salt for a century. That‘s a long while and a lot of salt for a family both custodians of an ancient culinary tradition and creators of a brand recognised the world over.

In 2010 Queen Elizabeth II was welcomed to the salt works in Maldon. In 2020,, Maldon was granted a Royal Warrant as official purveyors of sea salt.
