Maldon - Sea Salt Flakes, Unique Pyramid Shaped Salt Flakes, Perfect for a Wide Range of Dishes, Hand-Harvested for Four Generations, 250g Box

This is a Chef’s salt at a great price. In my opinion, Maldon is the best. This is flakes - so not for grinders, but for seasoning during cooking. The container is sturdy, so it keeps the salt in great condition. I tend to transfer some to a salt pig and then level the container in the cupboard. But it does look nice enough to be next to your hob. Great product.

Best sea salt in the market great value, great taste

The texture is the real magic. Those delicate, crunchy little pyramids dissolve on the tongue like salty snowflakes, giving you that satisfying crackle before they melt into pure, clean, briny bliss. No metallic aftertaste, no bitterness—just bright, mineral-rich sea salt that somehow makes everything taste more like itself. Tomatoes become tomato-ier, and a simple boiled egg with a pinch of Maldon feels like a Michelin-starred appetiser. Yes, it’s more expensive than the cardboard cylinder stuff but a little goes a long way. Use it to finish dishes and get a big bag of cheaper sea salt for general cooking I.e pasta water, dry brining of meat. Recommend.

I don’t use a massive amount of salt in cooking but do use it in some cocktails so I bought a box of Maldon Sea Salt rather than a larger tub. This salt has an excellent flaked texture and is great for creating a salt rim on a glass for cocktails such as a Margarita or Paloma. Using salt in this way means that you actually taste the salt on the glass before it mixes with the drink. You then get that great contrast of tequila, citrus and salt which is what these drinks are all about. Maldon Sea Salt seems very suited to being used in this way with its wonderful salty taste being a key component of the drink. This salt is also easily crumbled between thumb and finger to make a slightly finer powder. Half a pinch added to shaken drinks can also enhance the flavour of cocktails. Maldon Sea Salt keeps well in a plastic container and is the perfect salt for my drinks. Very good indeed!

This product is exemplary. Not too strong and a pleasant addition to food.

It’s salt - good amount and had several times = 5* but 4* this time as it wasn’t well packed and lid was cracked. A couple of tbsp in the box and one on my floor on opening box. Not enough to send back but only way to give packaging feedback. Don’t be dissuaded from buying - good VFM as long as not too much spilled into box en route….;-)

Great value for money, cheaper than buying at the supermarket, and tastes so much better than table salt

Lovely salt. Use it all the time. I do use it in my salt grinder even though it is quite fine. It isn't too strong.

The absolute best salt for cooking with. Ordering the big bucket is great value and lasts for a long time. Flaky, crunchy and delicious.

Excellent taste ! It adds that perfect salty flavour to any dish

Fiocchi meravigliosi

Empecemos por la materia prima, por el producto, por la sustancia blanca que se encuentra en el interior del cubilete: La sal Maldon. Cómo os explicaría? Vamos a ver, en mi opinión, existen dos tipos de sal en el mundo: La sal Maldon, y luego ya están las demás. Realmente marca la diferencia en cualquier plato que la pongas, tanto por su textura como por su sabor. Yo creía que no habría diferencia hasta que la empecé a usar: ahora la uso siempre. Da ganas de comértela a cucharadas (aquí estoy exagerando un poco). Lo que nos lleva al siguiente problema: es un producto caro. Sobre todo si lo compras en paquetitos de 125 o 250g. Digamos que la pizca te sale por un pico. Solución? Economías de escala dirían algunos... es decir, en lugar de comprar la sal en un paquetito vas y la compras en un cubo. Y así llegamos al producto que nos ocupa en esta reseña: la sal Maldon de toda la vida dentro de un cubilete majo, que te dura meses. El cubo es pequeño, no os penséis en un cubo tipo cubo de basura. Es una cosa manejable que puedes poner en un armario de cocina y usarlo tan ricamente. El precio por pizca de sal baja considerablemente, y la calidad es la misma. La única pega es que la apertura de la tapa del cubo es rara y complicada. Mira que debería ser una cosa fácil: una tapa para un cubo. Bueno, pues ahí no han acertado, tiene una apertura rara.

Muy rica , muy bonita la presentación en escamas
