Maldon’s pyramid flakes have been crafted to perfection for over a century. Since 1882, their Master Salt Makers have been hand-harvesting their unique sea salt flakes using the same traditional, artisan methods into the iconic pyramids recognised by chefs and home cooks the world over. The result? Flakes that break with clean precision, delivering a pure, fresh intensity that lifts every dish.

Now, they’re inviting Foodism readers to join a nationwide search for the most prized flake of them all: the Perfect Pyramid. Hidden in your classic box or tucked into your tub could be a flawless pyramid crystal, formed naturally through this century-old craft. Spot one, share it, and you could unlock something truly extraordinary:
