Overview
Crushing a pinch between thumb and fingers is how Maldon says its pyramid-shaped flakes are meant to be used. The salt is harvested by hand from the coastal town of Maldon and sold here as two boxes.
Soft, crunchy flakes add texture and a clean saltiness at the end of cooking. The listing includes a long history and award copy but little practical detail such as grinder fit or storage.
Who it's for
A home cook who seasons steaks, vegetables and salads at the table and likes to crush salt by hand. A baker after an even powder grain should look at a different salt.
Pros and cons
- Flaky pyramid crystals
- Two boxes in one order
- Not a fine salt
- Grinder fit is not stated
- Storage guidance is absent
- Salt per pinch is hard to measure
Performance notes
The pyramid flakes dissolve slowly on the tongue, which gives bursts of saltiness and a light crunch on top of finished food. Crushing between the fingers breaks the flakes down for more even seasoning.
