Maldon Salt is a fourth-generation family-owned business. Our pyramid salt flakes have been skilfully made using the same traditional artisan methods in the coastal town of Maldon since 1882. Today, we’re not just custodians of an ancient culinary tradition but also creators of a highly successful and respected global brand. Maldon Salt is recognised the world over as the finest of sea salts and we are proud to have held the Royal Warrant for official purveyors of sea salt since 2012.
As a business, we take our corporate social responsibility to our customers, partners, and ourselves extremely seriously. We are always seeking ways to lessen our footprint and are currently working on a five-year plan to both increase the sustainability of all the packaging we use and make sure all our packaging is easily recyclable. In addition, with every Maldon salt box produced we will be supporting the World Land Trust and the fantastic work they do to protect threatened habitats and wildlife.
It’s all part of our commitment to global environmental sustainability.
