Maldon Sea Salt

This is a tremendous ingredient to have on hand. The salt is in flake form and can be crushed easily with the fingers into food as you are cooking or to season at the end. The natural process that is still used to produce the salt means it is cleaner and has a purer, stronger flavour. As a result, you don't need to use as much Maldon Sea Salt as you would a normal table salt. Salt, like butter, is used not only to flavour foods, but to draw out their natural flavour. Tomatoes sprinkled with some of this stuff have the sweetest taste.In Brisbane it is getting much easier to find Maldon Sea Salt. It sells for around $10 a packet and I find it at IGA Milton, Rosalie Deli, Tognini's Deli and Coles Toowong.
