Maldon Salt has introduced Pepper Sea Salt, now available in 488 Morrisons stores and online. This new flavored salt blends Maldon’s signature hand-harvested sea salt flakes with aromatic Tellicherry and pink peppercorns, offering a simple way to elevate everyday dishes.
Packaged in a 50g recyclable tub with an RRP of £2, the product taps into the growing ‘Fancy Pantry’ trend, where shoppers upgrade everyday store-cupboard staples into gourmet essentials. Designed for home cooks looking to experiment with new flavors, the compact packaging encourages trial.
“We are passionate about inspiring home cooks and creating products which enhance everyday recipes into something truly exceptional. With all our flavoured salts, we seek out the very finest ingredients to pair with our sea salt flakes to create layers of outstanding flavour," said Simon James, Product Portfolio Manager from Maldon Salt.
