Fleur de Sel Sea Salt Hand Harvested French

Description

Product Overview

Fleur de Sel is a premium finishing salt harvested by hand from the historic salt marshes of Ile de Ré, western France. Each crystal forms naturally as the sun evaporates seawater, resulting in delicate, flaky grains that retain the sea’s natural mineral balance, including magnesium and trace electrolytes. Packaged in a 12‑ounce container, this unrefined, non‑iodized salt contains no additives, offering a pure taste profile that enhances both savory and sweet dishes.

Usage

Ideal for chefs and home cooks alike, Fleur de Sel adds a finishing touch to fresh tomatoes, salads, grilled fish, roasted vegetables, and premium steaks. Its subtle crunch also pairs beautifully with caramel desserts, chocolate truffles, and fruit salads, providing a sophisticated contrast. Sprinkle lightly just before serving to preserve its texture and flavor.
