Maldon salt
An exceptional sea salt which comes from the Maldon area of Essex. Sea salt is produced as the sea washes over rocks and then recedes with the tide, leaving pools of water. The sun evaporates the water and leaves the salt in the form of crystals that can be used in cooking or preserving, as whole crystals or ground.

Malibu Rum
A coconut flavored rum, 28 per cent alcohol by volume.

Malic acid
A natural acid found in sour apples and other fruits. In winemaking, when certain bacteria convert malic acid to Lactic Acid (which is much less strong and sour), a process called malolactic fermentation occurs. This reduces the wine's tartness, adds complexity to the flavor and sometimes contributes a slight sparkle. Malic acid is used as an acidulant as well as a flavoring agent in the processing of some foods.
