Maldon Sea Salt - The Choice of the Gourmet

Maldon Sea Salt is world renowned for it high quality and its honor to tradition. The salt itself is defined by its pyramid-shaped, soft and flaky crystals with a clean fresh taste. This is a company that is certainly worth its weight in salt (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

Less is certainly more with this product, the salt has such a distinct salty taste that you don't need to use much, certainly a bonus for those conscious about the amount of salt we consume.



The company itself has been operating in the same riverside building as it did in 1882. Maldon Salt is a fine example of excellent English Manufacturing. They still use some of the traditional methods to produce the salt, which originates from the river Blackwater, Essex.

If you’re into your cookery programs, you may have heard the mention of Maldon Salt from the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson. Why should we let them have all the fun?

The salt is readily available all over the world including the larger supermarket chains. So go and find out what all the fuss is about, even if it’s just to sprinkle on your fish and chips!

Maldon Brewing Co. - Have a Proper Pint

Maldon brewing company is the company behind the fantastic Farmers Ales. They produce a variety of real beers and ales - a proper pint!

I love the fact that each drink the company creates has a story behind it. It also explains the somewhat peculiar names! Anyone fancy a Drop of Nelson's Blood?


Farmers Ales are virtually hand made in the stable block of Maldon's Blue Boar Hotel, even the labels on the bottles are stuck on by hand. Brewing is certainly a passion for this company and you can certainly taste that passion in their rather endearingly named ales.

In addition to the ales available all year round, Maldon brewing company also likes to produce "special beers". Every month the company brings out a new ale for one month only. For example, this month saw the launch of the Noble Knight to celebrate St Georges Day.

Now as for availability, your best bet is to head into the Maldon area of Essex and have a pint from the tap, enjoying the wonderful local atmosphere on offer. However, if that's a bit of a journey for you, then you can purchase these ales bottled and enjoy them in the comfort of your own home.
