Maldon sea salt pyramids
After Claudine and Danny introduced us to Maldon sea salt at their last food shindig, we picked up a box at Williams Sonoma. At first I thought the flakes were a little big (compared to the fleur de sel de camargue we had been using), but once I got in the habit of grinding them between my fingers over my food, they’re actually quite nice. “Salty snowflakes” in the words of Sabine.
And the best part: they’re shaped like little hollow pyramids.
ooh… awesome! glad to have introduced you! :) great macro shot of the crystals, really beautiful! … a tip — Maldon is usually sold for $7-8/ box… not sure how much you paid at WS but you can get it cheaper at groceries like Berkeley Bowl or even Whole Foods, I think.
