Pyramid-shaped sea salt flakes from Maldon in a 1.4 kg tub with a handle, hand harvested by traditional methods, for finishing grills, salads and bakes.
Maldon Sea Salt Flakes, UK come in a round tub with a green lid and handle, printed with a green and cream diamond pattern and a white panel reading Maldon Sea Salt Flakes, Est. 1882. The trade mark reads 'Curious crystals of unusual purity' and 'Loved by chefs the world over'. The back says that for four generations the famous, pyramid-shaped flakes have been hand harvested using the same simple, time-honoured techniques, and gives a net weight of 1.4 kg. As general background, sea salt is salt produced by the evaporation of seawater, used as a seasoning in foods and cooking and for preserving food. Commonly, flaky sea salt is used as a finishing salt: a pinch over a grilled steak, roasted vegetables, sliced tomatoes, salads, fried eggs and fresh bread just before serving. The photos show the tub beside grilled courgette, peppers and asparagus, and next to a tray of chocolate cookies topped with flakes.
