Maldon Sea Salt - Maldon Crystal Salt

Maldon sea salt has large white flakes that ignite fresh contrast in the color, texture, and flavor on broiled meats and fish, and find the fullest expression of flavor on vegetables dishes such as salad, so try some on your tomato or lettuce! Maldon sea salt also provides a beauty and sharp mineral complexity to any of grilled dishes.

Maldon sea salt is made from seawater collected from England ’s Blackwater river estuary and evaporated in stainless steel saltpans mounted on an intricate system of brick flues that give the specific heating pattern required for the formation of Maldon's massive yet parchment-fine flake crystals. The Maldon Crystal Salt Company stands on what is believed to have been the site of a medieval salt works, and medieval brickwork impregnated with salt has been found on the site.

To be repetitive out of sheer enthusiasm, it can't be stressed enough: Maldon sea salt is the penultimate salt for daily use in salads, with a texture equivalent to fireworks and a crisp, balanced flavor. Also Ploughman’s Chutney, dry cheeses, and heavy breads spread with a good unsalted butter from Germany (or Oregon) love this salt.

Crunching Maldon between the finger and thumb, letting fall the shards, and watching them assail the surface of a well crafted dish like a storm of crystal shields, is almost as satisfying as eating it.
