I have reviewed plenty of salts for Amazon, both ones I have purchased and ones I have been offered to test as a result of my verified purchase' product reviews.  My 'gourmet' cooking salts experience began with Maldon and I discovered the product by watching cooking shows featuring British chefs a good few years ago.  As a 'Francophile' (lover of French products and cooking and Julia Child) I switched to pricier French sea salts.  I still feel they might offer a bit extra...but I have gone back to Maldon's star-shaped pressed crystal salt because most 'upper end' Amazon customers will find this salt to be just fine and more reasonably priced than the French alternatives I also love.  Maldon has a clean, non-iodized briny flavor and a crush-able texture that allows sprinkling or strewing over meats and vegetables.  Very possibly this is the price/value champion for every day use.
