Maldon Sea Salt Flakes, smoked, sea salt from England

Chefs and gourmets know: not all salt is the same. While normal salt often feels grainy on the tongue and leaves a slightly bitter taste, Maldon Sea Salt is much milder and more intense in taste. The characteristic, pyramid-shaped salt crystals are extremely thin and can be easily rubbed between your fingers for seasoning. And while other types of salt contain anti-caking agents, Maldon Sea Salt only contains pure seawater trace elements. The valuable salt is extracted by the Maldon Sea Salt Company, the only salt mining company in England. The small family business has been processing and selling the salt since 1882. Maldon Sea Salt is only available in limited quantities.
