Maldon Sea Salt 1.4kg

Sea Salt Flakes

Maldon Sea Salt 1.4kg brings the distinctive texture and clean flavour of Maldon’s original sea salt flakes to a larger catering-size tub. Hand-harvested in Maldon, Essex, the salt is recognised for its delicate pyramid-shaped crystals, which provide a crisp texture and clean salinity without overwhelming the ingredients around them.

The flakes can be crushed between the fingers for controlled seasoning during cooking or left whole when finishing dishes where texture matters. Use Maldon Sea Salt on grilled meat and fish, roast vegetables, salads and eggs, or add a pinch to chocolate, caramel and baked goods for contrast. It is equally useful for brining, making it a versatile salt for both savoury cooking and baking.

Why are Maldon Sea Salt Flakes pyramid shaped?

Maldon’s characteristic hollow pyramid crystals are formed during its salt-making process as the brine is carefully heated and the salt crystallises. The unusual structure contributes to the light, crisp texture for which Maldon is known.

Why do cooks use flaky sea salt for finishing food?

Large, delicate flakes remain perceptible on the surface of food rather than immediately disappearing into it. This provides small bursts of salinity and a subtle crunch, which is particularly effective on steaks, vegetables, bread, salads and desserts.

Should Maldon Sea Salt Flakes be crushed before using them?

It depends on the result required. Crushing the flakes between your fingers distributes the salt more evenly, while keeping them whole provides greater textural contrast and more concentrated points of seasoning. This makes the same salt useful at different stages of cooking.
