Fleur De Sel

Fleur de sel, or "flower of salt," is a type of sea salt traditionally collected from the surface of seawater evaporation ponds along coastal areas, particularly in Brittany, France. This delicate salt is harvested by hand using traditional wooden tools, ensuring minimal disturbance of the salt crystals. Fleur de sel is known for its light, flaky texture and purity, making it a cherished finishing salt in culinary contexts.

The scent profile of fleur de sel is fresh and subtle, echoing the clean, saline fragrance of the sea. Unlike heavily processed salts, fleur de sel retains a hint of briny ocean breeze and can carry faint mineral notes that reflect its natural origin. These characteristics make it particularly enjoyable when used to enhance the flavors in a wide range of dishes, from savory to sweet, by adding a sophisticated yet understated aroma that complements the natural essence of fresh ingredients.
