Maldon - Sea Salt Flakes Tub, 3.1 lb (1.4kg) - Unique Pyramid Shaped Salt Flakes, Perfect for a Wide Range of Dishes, Hand-Harvested for Four Generations

I had never used this salt before, but after reading an article that said this is the type of salt that many highend chophouses use on their steaks, I decided to give it a try. I love this stuff! When preparing a steak for the grill, brush a little olive oil across the top, sprinkle a few pinches of this salt, and pepper. The salt comes in small flakes that disolve in the olive oil, permeating the meat and leaving the pepper laying on top. I noticed a difference in the taste of the steak. Salt is either too much or too little but this salt isn't overbearing so you can salt generously without worrying about oversalting. Great Find!

Great value! Have purchased multiple times as an alternative to pricier flake sale. The texture is perfect, nice and crunchy, and tastes perfectly salty - which I guess it should. Highly recommend.

For those who understand that not all salt is created equal, let me tell you about the day I committed. I didn't just buy salt; I invested in a lifestyle. I purchased the Maldon Sea Salt Flakes, the bulk tub. Yes, the 3.1 lb tub. This isn't just a condiment; it's a statement piece. The statement is, "I take my seasoning seriously, and I probably have opinions about water filtration."For years, I used regular table salt. It did the job, in a very "meh" kind of way. Then I discovered Maldon flakes, usually in a tiny, precious box that I guarded like a culinary dragon hoarding treasure. But the small box life was stressful. What if I ran out? What if a rogue gust of wind blew my precious flakes away? The anxiety was real. That's why I went for the tub. The glorious, abundant tub.When this magnificent container arrived, it felt like a culinary milestone. Opening it revealed a treasure trove of those beautiful, pyramid-shaped salt flakes. They're not just crystals; they're tiny, edible snowflakes of pure flavor. Dipping my fingers into the tub felt like accessing a secret stash of deliciousness.Using Maldon flakes is a tactile pleasure. The way they crumble between your fingers, the delicate crunch they add to food – it's an experience. And the taste! It's a clean, bright saltiness without that harsh bite you get from some salts. It enhances flavors without overpowering them. My roasted vegetables sing, my grilled meats are elevated, and even a simple slice of tomato with a sprinkle of these flakes feels gourmet.The bulk tub size is a game-changer. No more rationing my precious flakes. I can season with abandon! I feel a profound sense of security knowing I have this much culinary awesomeness at my disposal. My food is living its best, most flavorful life, and my stress levels about running out of good salt have plummeted.If you appreciate truly excellent salt, understand the joy of a perfect finishing flake, and want to feel like you have an endless supply of culinary magic at your fingertips, commit to the tub. It's a little bit of everyday luxury that makes a huge difference in your cooking and eating experience. My kitchen is happier, my food is more delicious, and I'm thoroughly impressed with this salty abundance.

These were perfect atop brownies! They helped break the sweetness.

If you’ve ever been on the edge about buying a nicer salt, don’t hesitate a minute longer! It’s great for finishing on steaks, or atop a chocolate chip cookie. Buttered bread with honey? Put a sprinkle of salt on there fella! You’ll be happy you did. It’s a nice texture having these bigger crystals of salt, and makes things you’ve cooked look beautiful and like they came from a high end kitchen. I will buy this again the minute I get close to finishing.

The Maldon Smoked Sea Salt tastes fantastic! Rich, smoky, and a great addition to everything. I’ve really enjoyed using it in my cooking.That said, I was disappointed with how it arrived. When I opened my Amazon box, the salt box was just tossed in there without any protective wrapping. As a result, the box was slightly crushed/dented/deformed and didn’t feel as premium as the product deserves.If I were the company, I’d definitely invest a little more in packaging to ensure the product arrives in better shape. I’d STILL buy it again, but I hope they improve the packaging!

Nice salt, tastes great and I like the large chunks which can be crushed with the fingers. Never had any salt like this before. The only issue is the price, pretty dang spendy for such a small amount. Health is more important though so for now, I will keep paying the high price.I recommend uou stay away from kosher salt or use in moderation. Go for sea salt if you can, much healthier.

What can I say, these are flakes of high quality salt, they enhance any flavor by just using a pinch. They are different from coarse and fine salt in that they are truly individual flakes of salt, so far I’ve used it on chocolate, caramel, grilled chicken and steak and it’s turned out delicious
