These salt crystals are harvested from salt marshes in England by experienced salt masters. The process has been perfected in this family business for more than 130 years and is served at the House of Windsor.

Artisan/History/Story
The Maldon Salt company has been run by the Osborne family for 130 years and four generations. Their location on the Essex coast of England is perfect for high quality salt harvesting and combined with years of improving techniques they are now world renowned. Salt was harvested in this area 2,000 years ago. Salt water is filtered and boiled to remove any impurities and then hand "drawn" by a skilled salt master to bring about the wonderful flaky crystals. Years of caring about the details have resulted in a wonderful family business.

Maldon Sea Salt comes in an 8.5 oz box. I store mine in a decorative jar right beside the stove and serve in salt cellars tableside. If you live in an area with low humidity utilize a "salt pig" in your kitchen. As with all salts, keep away from humidity for maintaining taste and quality.
