Details: Delicate, moist and crunchy—Fleur de Sel is known as “the caviar of salts” by chefs around the world. The result of a cool evening wind gently blowing across the surface of salt ponds in Guérande, France, delicate crystals blossom quickly and are gathered early in the morning using traditional wooden tools. This tender harvesting process leaves the crystals intact and helps them retain their natural moisture. Used by cooks worldwide when seasoning their favorite foods, Fleur de Sel is one of the most treasured finishing salts for gourmet dishes, adding subtle salinity and crunch, and in spice & herb blends, as it helps to breakdown herbs and open up their flavor.
