Our verdict

Flaky, pyramid-shaped sea salt in a bulk resealable tub, kosher and additive-free by the maker's account. The flakes are served by the pinch, so they do not replace a fine salt in a shaker.

Overview

A kitchen counter with a salt cellar is where this Maldon tub earns its place, supplying pyramid-shaped flakes to crush between finger and thumb. The maker describes the flakes as soft and crunchy.

The tub is the bulk size of a salt that cooks reach for when they want crunch on top of a dish. The flakes are chosen for texture rather than fineness, and the listing gives no sodium figure.

Who it's for

A home cook or aspiring chef who salts by the pinch and values flake texture. Those who want a fine shaker salt, or a coarse grinder salt, should look at other products.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Flake shape drives the result: the pyramid crystals release their saltiness on the tongue and add crunch, which is the maker's emphasis. Crushing a pinch between finger and thumb gives control over how coarse it lands on food. Grain size is not given.
