Maldon Salt, Sea Salt Flakes, 8.5 oz (240 g), Kosher, Natural, Handcrafted, Gourmet, Pyramid Crystals (Packaging May vary)

I had never used this salt before, but after reading an article that said this is the type of salt that many highend chophouses use on their steaks, I decided to give it a try. I love this stuff! When preparing a steak for the grill, brush a little olive oil across the top, sprinkle a few pinches of this salt, and pepper. The salt comes in small flakes that disolve in the olive oil, permeating the meat and leaving the pepper laying on top. I noticed a difference in the taste of the steak. Salt is either too much or too little but this salt isn't overbearing so you can salt generously without worrying about oversalting. Great Find!

For those who understand that not all salt is created equal, let me tell you about the day I committed. I didn't just buy salt; I invested in a lifestyle. I purchased the Maldon Sea Salt Flakes, the bulk tub. Yes, the 3.1 lb tub. This isn't just a condiment; it's a statement piece. The statement is, "I take my seasoning seriously, and I probably have opinions about water filtration."For years, I used regular table salt. It did the job, in a very "meh" kind of way. Then I discovered Maldon flakes, usually in a tiny, precious box that I guarded like a culinary dragon hoarding treasure. But the small box life was stressful. What if I ran out? What if a rogue gust of wind blew my precious flakes away? The anxiety was real. That's why I went for the tub. The glorious, abundant tub.When this magnificent container arrived, it felt like a culinary milestone. Opening it revealed a treasure trove of those beautiful, pyramid-shaped salt flakes. They're not just crystals; they're tiny, edible snowflakes of pure flavor. Dipping my fingers into the tub felt like accessing a secret stash of deliciousness.Using Maldon flakes is a tactile pleasure. The way they crumble between your fingers, the delicate crunch they add to food – it's an experience. And the taste! It's a clean, bright saltiness without that harsh bite you get from some salts. It enhances flavors without overpowering them. My roasted vegetables sing, my grilled meats are elevated, and even a simple slice of tomato with a sprinkle of these flakes feels gourmet.The bulk tub size is a game-changer. No more rationing my precious flakes. I can season with abandon! I feel a profound sense of security knowing I have this much culinary awesomeness at my disposal. My food is living its best, most flavorful life, and my stress levels about running out of good salt have plummeted.If you appreciate truly excellent salt, understand the joy of a perfect finishing flake, and want to feel like you have an endless supply of culinary magic at your fingertips, commit to the tub. It's a little bit of everyday luxury that makes a huge difference in your cooking and eating experience. My kitchen is happier, my food is more delicious, and I'm thoroughly impressed with this salty abundance.

Great value! Have purchased multiple times as an alternative to pricier flake sale. The texture is perfect, nice and crunchy, and tastes perfectly salty - which I guess it should. Highly recommend.

This is by far, the best sea salt ever. I stopped using table salt, a pure poison, decades ago. It is not only the best tasting salt, but the way it is made is unbelievably unique and quite delicious. The pyramid flakes are amazing, for cooking and for salting foods on the plate. It is from some of the coldest and most turbulent sea water on earth. Giving it a life of its own. You can taste the minerals and richness of the North Sea. Amazing Sea Salt!!

If you’ve ever been on the edge about buying a nicer salt, don’t hesitate a minute longer! It’s great for finishing on steaks, or atop a chocolate chip cookie. Buttered bread with honey? Put a sprinkle of salt on there fella! You’ll be happy you did. It’s a nice texture having these bigger crystals of salt, and makes things you’ve cooked look beautiful and like they came from a high end kitchen. I will buy this again the minute I get close to finishing.

Love this salt. Flaky I can pinch between fingers to break it up, I stopped using table salt for this salt. Heard about it on food network, so decided to try it. Lasts forever , great price

The salt itself is amazing but the packaging was TERRIBLE. I think they've tried to fix it with tape but it just made the packaging worse.
