Maldon salt is celebrating 140 years of craftsmanship with some extra-special events
As the nation celebrates the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, it’s worth noting that another household favourite is also ringing in a very special anniversary. This summer marks 140 years of salt craftsmanship at Maldon Salt, and the culinary brand has some very exciting plans afoot to mark the festivities.
A special birthday requires a special outfit and, from this month, its Original Sea Salt is available in limited edition packaging with a golden ‘140 years of craftsmanship’ logo – designed to look as good in your kitchen as it tastes in your food.
Despite much changing over the past 140 years, the distinctive pyramid-shaped flakes – loved by chefs and home cooks the world over – continue to be hand-harvested in Essex using the same techniques that were employed back in 1882, and all under the watchful eye of four generations of the Osborne family.
A sprinkling of salt flakes can elevate a dish to something extra special, so with that in mind, Maldon Salt has created a series of Jubilee-inspired pudding recipes that are available online. All classics with a modern and contemporary twist, such as Eton Mess, Orange and Pistachio Battenburg and Chai Chelsea Buns, and guaranteed to be a delicious addition to any Jubilee party or picnic.
However, sharing a special anniversary isn’t the only connection between Maldon Salt and Her Majesty. Back in 2010 the Queen visited Maldon’s salt works and two years later granted the brand a Royal Warrant, which still stands to this day. Maldon Salt even makes an appearance in a new book featuring 250 royal images – Her Majesty the Queen: Inside the Official Platinum Jubilee Pageant Commemorative Album.
So as you get into the party spirit, keep an eye out for Maldon Salt’s socials and the exciting events, recipes and competitions to come. And in the meantime, grab your limited edition anniversary pack and seize the seasoning.
