hi hounds,

thanks to all for your help ... i found the smoked version last night at bruno's @ royal york/dundas! i'll keep an eye out for the regular version ...

[piptal]

I saw the regular Maldon salt at at Alex Farm on the Danforth on Saturday - I assume the other Alex Farm locations probably carry it as well.

I bought my last two boxes (smoked and not) at Loblaws. I have also seen it in the basement stalls at STL market, among other places.

I am hooked on Maldon Salt. The price varies. William Sonoma sells it for around $15.00. The last time I purchased it was at Highlands Farms-Dufferin/ Finch location. I think it was around $10. I use it for ''finishing" a dish because it is expensive and can go quickly if you use it in cooking a dish.
Costco has never carried it to my knowledge. I have purchased a couple of different salts in Costco and they did not compare to Maldon!

Michael-Angelo's Market on Erin Mills Pkwy @ 403 in Mississauga have it in the deli.

I saw it at Loblaws at Dundas / Scarlett on Tuesday, in the spice aisle, on one of the lower shelves, next to the President Choice pink sea salt.

struck out at longos on ponytrail and metro in cloverdale ...

trying bruno's this week.

tks!!!

I've always seen it in Pusateri's on Avenue Road-not in the baking section, but where they hold their collection of spices. I've also seen it a Whole Foods Market.

hi all,

okay - i will make a special trip to the neighbourhood loblaws and metro ... i generally avoid those stores like the plague (i prefer longos).

thanks for the tips!

Does your Longo's not sell it?

I am pretty sure the newer Longo's have Maldon and a wide variety of other salts (they are on display in large glass containers, but there are smaller plastic container versions of them to actually buy).

I think they sell Maldon salt at Costco too but don't quote me on that one.

I haven't seen it at Costco; they have Gros sel Guerande, which is a good light crystal substitute, around $6.per kg.
Boodah, I have looked for Maldon at the two east Toronto locations of Highland Farms but they haven't had it for 2 years. I guess I'll have to go to Longo's parking adventure on Leslie.

Maldon salt is also available at Bruno's Meats in Pickering, Kingston Rd. and Rougemount. This salt is great as a finishing salt to up the presentation level a notch.

I agree with the Gros sel Guerande that is available at Costco; great flavour for the price and my everyday salt.

[jayt90]

Thanks Dflip. I got it at Bruno's, 250g for $10.

[lilaki]

thanks! i'm going to try the bruno's in etobicoke this week!

[jayt90]

I am pretty sure Bruno's in Pickering is independent. But Bruno's, the chain, may well have it.
Anyway, thanks for bringing this up. I saw Maldon for months on end at Highland Farms, $7. a box, on the meat counter. Then they didn't have it, and I regretted not buying!

oy! you're right! totally didn't catch 'bruno's meats' vs. 'bruno's'. oh well ... i'll give bruno's a try and see if i have any luck...

otherwise, the next closest place is the cheese boutique...

[Ted Richards]

I believe Scheffler's in the St Lawrence Market carries it. I think I also saw it at the bulk store at the back of the basement in the SLM, but they didn't have it the last time I looked.

[Boodah]

Cheese Boutique has it but, if you can get there, the Highland Farms in Mississauga generally has it in stock at a lower price.

Readibly available at most Loblaws, Sobeys & Metro. You should not have trouble finind Maldon!

[cubmike74]

I'm pretty sure I've tried finding it at Metro and Sobeys - but I always seem to have to go to Whole Foods to get it.
I use it as my everyday salt - I'm addicted!
