‘Tis the seasoning

From homemade gifts to festive cocktails, make your culinary creations sing this Christmas with Maldon Salt’s artisan sea salt flakes

Afirm favourite in many British households, Maldon Salt has been flavouring the nation’s food for more than a century. Now led by the fourth generation of the Osborne family, its hand-harvested sea salt is still made in the English coastal town of Maldon, using the same traditional artisan methods since 1882.

Though Maldon Salt is celebrating its 140th anniversary this year, it’s always looking for new and imaginative ways to inspire both home cooks and professional chefs to seize the seasoning. That’s why the brand is inviting you to elevate your festive creations this Christmas with a pinch of its famous flakes, which are designed to crumble between your fingers for an easy injection of flavour at every stage of the cooking process.

If you’re making cocktails, try stirring some into a festive fig bellini, or use it to salt the rim of your glass in preparation for a Christmassy cranberry margarita. Alternatively, if you’re going down the homemade gifting route, you could sprinkle it over a range of sweet treats, from rum & raisin fudge to pistachio & chocolate cookies. So, ready to give Maldon Salt a go? Try whipping up a batch of these mouth-watering truffles.
