The Maldon Salt Merchants range is a series of seasoning products being launched to provide consumers with access to some high-quality options perfect for their cooking needs.
The collection of salts consists of two options to start including the Himalayan Pink Salt and the Kalahari Desert Salt, which are both characterized by their specific nuances. The Himalayan Pink Salt is pinkish in hue due to its mineral content, while the Kalahari Desert Salt is harvested and sun-dried in Souther Africa. The products are arriving in the UK where shoppers can pick them up for £2.50 per 250-gram pack.
Commercial Director Robert La Francesca commented on the new Maldon Salt Merchants range saying, "We are incredibly excited to launch our new Merchants Range which not only taps into consumers’ demand for special ingredients for their cooking, but it also meets their desire for a wider choice of salts from Maldon. With 55% of consumers saying they would intend to buy a Maldon flavoured salt these delicious new launches come at the perfect time."
