Maldon Sea Salt


Maldon Sea Salt is a salt producing company in Maldon on the high-salinity banks of the River Blackwater.

History

Its clay-lined salt pans date back to Roman times and amounted to 45 according to the Domesday Book in 1086.

Production

The brine is evaporated over fires mounted on an elaborate network of brick flues, rendering its rare pyramid-shaped crystals.

Singularities

Its low magnesium content confers it a uniquely low bitter taste.
