Product Description

Fleur de Sel, which comes exclusively from Breton Guérande, France, is widely considered one of finest varieties of gourmet salts available. The crystals form on the very top layer of the salt ponds and are harvested by barely skimming the surface. With its high mineral and low sodium content, Fleur De Sel has a moist texture and richly complex delicacy of flavor that makes it an ideal choice for crafting fine dining experiences.

The salt fields of Guerande are long and narrow so that an artisan paludier (salt harvester) can sweep the top of the evaporating sea water to harvest the precious sel gris de Guerande (hand harvested salt with a grey cast). The harvested sea water is drawn into an area lined with clay where the sun and wind help evaporate the water and the layers of salt are raked away.

That single days evaporation of salt crust is harvested as the Fleur de Sel. For every 80 pounds of sel gris produced, there is one pound of Fleur de Sel that is harvested.

Rich in trace elements, the taste of Fleur de Sel is the complex balance of the sea and her minerals with small flaky crystals, a moist texture and slightly grey/pink cast. It is used generally to finish a dish, as a condiment, rather than a spice.

Fleur de Sel de Guerande is a natural compliment to fresh raw vegetables and salads and can elevate the flavor of grilled meats and fish.
