Great product. Great taste.

I recently purchased two new products from Maldon Salt via Amazon, and the experience has been nothing short of delightful. The speedy delivery ensured that I could quickly elevate my culinary adventures with these exciting additions to the Maldon Salt family. Maldon Chilly Salt - A Warm Kick without Overpowering The Maldon Chilly Salt has swiftly become my favourite among the duo. It brings a perfect balance of warmth without overpowering the flavours of my dishes. I've incorporated it into various recipes, and it never fails to add that extra dimension to my meals. Whether sprinkled on top or used in the cooking process, the Chilly Salt has become a staple in my kitchen over the past couple of weeks. Maldon Garlic Salt - A Flavorful Companion The Maldon Garlic Salt is another gem in this new collection. Its garlicky goodness enhances the taste of my dishes (I've been adding it to my pasta meals), making it a versatile addition to both recipes and as a finishing touch. The garlic infusion is just right, providing a rich flavour that doesn't overshadow the natural taste of the ingredients - My kids have approved of the addition in thier meals. A Dedicated Maldon Salt Fan As a devoted Maldon Salt fan, I've long cherished their classic smoked salt, particularly on Saturday mornings paired with salmon eggs and avocado – my weekend treat. The introduction of these new flavours, especially the Chilly and Garlic options, has only deepened my appreciation for Maldon Salt. Their commitment to quality and innovative offerings continues to make them my go-to salt supplier. In conclusion, Maldon Salt's new Chilly and Garlic options are excellent additions to their already impressive lineup. If you're a fellow salt enthusiast or just someone looking to elevate your culinary experience, these new products are worth a try. They've earned a permanent place in my kitchen, and I can't wait to explore more creative ways to use them in my cooking adventures.

Maldon Smoked Sea Salt is the traditional Maldon sea salt flakes (with their beautiful pyramid shape), but it’s been gently smoked over oak wood. I have found it to be an incredibly versatile addition to my larder and is often used more frequently than my standard Maldon sea salt flakes. Used on savoury dishes, it adds a beautiful delicate smokey essence. However, for me, Maldon Smoked Sea Salt shines the most when used in sweet dishes; a sprinkle over freshly cooked and sliced brownies, straight out of the oven, amazing. It helps to create the balance that salt always does to a sweet dish but leaves a gentle smoke on the palate. Whether it’s boosting umami in a savoury dish or beautifully balancing and complimenting a sweet, you won’t regret your purchase. Some advice on the use of Maldon salt flakes, whether smoked or not: Maldon salt flakes are a finishing salt. Many reviewers are either complaining it’s too weak, grinding the salt in a mill or (and this is a sure-fire way to make a chef cry) chucking it into cooking dishes, e.g. a pasta sauce. Finishing salts are delicate (and expensive at £1.40 per 100g compared to table salt, 5-7p per 100g) and should be used, as the name suggests, to finish a plate of food. A sprinkle over a dish at the end adds texture, a distinct flavour, a more professional look and balance. So please do try this salt, for its intended purpose, you will adore it and will be amazed at just how many dishes flavour profiles it can round out. Storage: Salt flakes should be kept in a cool and dry place to avoid moisture causing clumping and flavour impairment (especially with the smoked version). The bag and box it comes in are, sadly, not suitable as it cannot be resealed. I would advise you store it in either a Kilner jar or a resealable Ziploc bag and place it in a cupboard or drawer that’s cool.

Love maldon sea salt, but find this a bit too light on the garlic side, possibly personal preference so only 1 star deducted. Wish their seasoned salts were more strongly seasoned than they currently are, maybe they could do extra strength seasoned salts instead. Would I recommend, yes if you only want a faint hint of flavour, anything stronger you’ll need to add in that flavour yourself.

Like this a lot, big tub is handy. Wish I'd bought more than one while it was on offer!

I love smoked salt on salad (I have to eat a lot of salt in order to stop my blood pressure from being too low). It is particularly good on tomatoes. I uses to get from supermarkets, but they seem to have stopped stocking it. I was pleased to find it here, but thought twice because of the cost. However, I am very pleased by the size of the tub, and I realise that it is good value. I shall buy it again.

Great fun and unique gift

Good quality salt can transform your food far more than you might imagine... I've always been a fan of Malden, and use it all the time... I tried this Malden salt with chilli out of curiosity... I'm glad I did because it's lovely... I'm increasing its applications over time as it makes a subtle improvement to some dishes that you might not always associate with chilli... That is of course down to personal taste, but for my taste, I highly recommend it
