Description

Premium Fleur de Sel 100g” is a highly prized, natural finishing sea salt known for its delicate texture and complex flavor profile. The name translates from French as “flower of salt”. 

Key Characteristics
Hand-Harvested: It is collected by hand using traditional methods from the surface of salt pans in coastal regions like Guérande, France, or Kampot, Cambodia. This labor-intensive process contributes to its rarity and premium status.
Texture and Flavor: It consists of light, flaky, non-uniform crystals that provide a delicate crunch. It has a milder, more complex flavor than regular table salt, with subtle mineral notes and an oceanic taste due to trace elements like magnesium and calcium.
Natural and Unrefined: The salt is 100% natural, unrefined, and typically contains no additives or anti-caking agents. Its natural moisture content helps the crystals stick together and dissolve slowly on the palate.
Appearance: It is typically off-white or pale grey due to natural clay from the salt marshes, and sometimes has a faint pink tinge from microalgae.
Usage: It is primarily used as a finishing salt, added to dishes just before serving to enhance natural flavors and add texture. It is not generally used during cooking, as heat dissolves the delicate crystals, diminishing its unique properties. It pairs well with both savory dishes (meats, fish, salads, vegetables) and desserts (chocolate, caramel).
