Maldon Salt is a fourth-generation family-owned business. Our pyramid salt flakes have been skilfully made using the same traditional artisan methods in the coastal town of Maldon since 1882. Today, we’re not just custodians of an ancient culinary tradition but also creators of a highly successful and respected global brand. Maldon Salt is recognised the world over as the finest of sea salts and we are proud to have held the Royal Warrant for official purveyors of sea salt since 2012.
