What is “Fleur de sel” ?

Fleur de sel is a salt that forms as a thin, delicate crust on the surface of seawater as it evaporates. You use it as a finishing salt to flavor and garnish food. The name comes from the flower-like patterns of crystals in the salt crust. Fleur de sel is hand-harvested in the traditional way, by workers who scrape it off the surface of salt pans with long-handled rakes.

It’s a labour-intensive process, which is why fleur de sel is more expensive than other types of salt. But the delicate flavour and texture of fleur de sel make it worth the extra cost. If you’re looking for a special salt to flavour and garnish your food, fleur de sel is the perfect choice. It’s hand-harvested in the traditional way, so you know the quality is excellent.
