The History of Maldon Salt
The story of Smoked Maldon Salt dates back to 1882 with the founding of Maldon Crystal Salt Company in Essex, England. For over 136 years, the salt has been produced using traditional methods and is now one of the leading providers of premium salt products. The company is currently in its fourth generation of ownership by the Osborne family and is renowned for its unparalleled craftsmanship.
In 2012, Maldon Crystal Salt Company was awarded the prestigious Royal Warrant – a royal certification granted only to suppliers who have been serving the British royal family for at least five years. This honor underscores the exceptional quality and outstanding service that the company provides.
How Smoked Maldon Salt is Made
Smoked Maldon Salt is made with great care in a unique process from seawater sourced from the Blackwater Delta in Essex. In this area, where rainfall is minimal, the salt concentration is highest. Initially, the seawater is filtered and purified, before it is gently heated in a special process until the characteristic salt crystals form.
The crystallized salt is then hand-harvested and smoked over high-quality British oak wood, imparting the signature smoky flavor. This meticulous process makes each grain of salt a unique experience, distinguished by its fine, soft texture and elegant smoky taste.
