The estuary gives the salt; the smoke gives it a second nature. The Smoked Maldon Fleur de Sel from Place des Épices is a sea salt from Maldon, in Essex, drawn from the highly saline waters of the Blackwater estuary, the result of a permanent tide combined with low rainfall, then smoked. It is one of the rare salts to form pyramid-shaped crystals, and its low magnesium content keeps bitterness to a minimum beneath the smoky notes. Crumble it over a grilled steak or lamb, or over a caramel dessert.
