<p>There aren’t many celebrity endorsements that carry more weight than the Queen of England's. Maldon has been making high-quality sea salt for over a century and has been recognized with a Royal Warrant. Get a bag from Thrive Market, and season like the royals do.</p>   
<h2>The History of Maldon</h2>
<p>Maldon gets its name from the town of Maldon, England, which is where its salt originates. The town sits at the intersection of the Blackwater River and the North Sea, giving its water a distinct mix of freshwater and saltwater. Historians believe that salt-making began in the region more than 2000 years ago when the Roman Empire was occupying the land. It is unclear, however, if their salt-making efforts continued for more than a few years.</p><br>

<p>In 1882, Thomas Bland founded the Maldon Crystal Salt Company to take advantage of his hometown’s unique location in a lasting way. His high-quality salt flakes were quickly embraced by gourmet chefs in London, as well as places that were farther flung.</p><br>

<p>Today, Maldon Crystal Salt remains family-owned, just as it was more than 100 years ago. Many of the company’s techniques for panning salt remain largely unchanged as well. In 2012, Maldon was granted a Royal Warrant of Appointment, or the right to place the royal seal on products, by Queen Elizabeth II. The Royal Warrant means that the company is an official purveyor of sea salt for the British Royal Family.</p>    
<h2>Maldon Company Mission</h2>
<p>Maldon’s salt is legendary around the world for its “pyramid-shaped” crystals, which lends the salt its unique texture and flavor. Maldon Crystal Salt achieves this by working in small batches and without extra processing. They use traditional methods that have been passed down through the family for almost a century, including putting water over a slow heat and retrieving salt by hand. Everyone at the company is expert in all things sea salt.</p> 
<h2>Benefits of Maldon</h2>

<li>Small batches maintain unique shape and texture</li>
<li>Made with as little extra processing as possible</li>
<li>Endorsed by the British Royal Family</li></ul>
