Description

Premium Fleur de Sel 250g” is a high-quality finishing sea salt known for its delicate flavor, unique flaky texture, and rich mineral content. 

Description
Fleur de sel, which means “flower of salt” in French, is a rare and highly prized natural sea salt. It is traditionally hand-harvested from the surface of shallow salt pans in coastal regions of France (like Guérande and the Camargue) or other areas like Greece and Spain, under specific weather conditions (sun, dry wind). 
Key characteristics:
Texture: It consists of fine, delicate, and irregularly shaped crystals that have a moist, flaky, or crunchy texture.
Flavor Profile: The salt has a complex, mild, and nuanced “taste of the ocean” with subtle mineral sweetness, thanks to its natural trace elements like magnesium and calcium. It is considered less harsh than regular table salt.
Purity: It is an unrefined, unwashed, and additive-free product, preserving its natural properties and flavor. Its color is typically pale gray or off-white, sometimes with a faint pink tinge.
Rarity: The production is labor-intensive and highly weather-dependent, resulting in small quantities and a higher price point. 

Culinary Uses
Fleur de sel is primarily used as a finishing salt to enhance the flavor of dishes just before serving. Adding it during cooking can cause the delicate crystals to dissolve and lose their unique texture.
