Some things never go out of style. Vinyl records. Cast iron skillets. A sprinkle of Maldon Sea Salt. For more than 140 years, four generations of the Osborne family have been hand-harvesting salt flakes from the shores of Maldon, Essex, using the same traditional artisan methods. From great grandfather James to Steve Osborne today, Maldon remains one of those rare family-run businesses that still feels, well, like family.
It’s this heritage that makes Maldon special. Every batch of sea salt is still carefully drawn from the coastal salt pans, where seawater slowly evaporates to leave delicate crystals that stack, layer by layer, into the brand’s signature pyramid-shaped flakes.

Recognised the world over, those distinctive pyramids aren’t just beautiful to look at; they deliver Maldon’s unmistakable crunch, clean flavour and versatility in the kitchen, whether you’re finishing a steak, sprinkling over sourdough or balancing out a chocolate brownie. No wonder the brand holds a Royal Warrant as Purveyors of Sea Salt to His Majesty King Charles III.
But Maldon isn’t just about tradition. Fans have long been celebrating those rare, perfectly formed pyramid flakes tucked inside their packs. This autumn, that passion becomes official with Maldon’s nationwide Perfect Pyramid competition. The challenge? Hunt down your own perfect salt pyramid, snap a photo and share it.

One lucky winner will bag the ultimate Maldon experience: an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the historic saltworks in Essex, a hands-on raking session with a Master Salt Maker, a catered lunch in the town that started it all, plus plenty of Maldon Salt to take home.
Entering is simple: just post your pyramid find on Instagram or TikTok tagging @maldonsalt and #perfectpyramid, or upload via the form at maldonsalt.com/perfectpyramid
Why settle for ordinary when you could season with extraordinary? Every box of Maldon tells a story that’s been centuries in the making. The only question is… can you find the perfect pyramid?
