Fleur de sel is made by solar evaporating saline water in shallow pans using wind and sun energy. The blossoms of salt are the harvested by hand with rakes. The resulting salt crystals are irregular and have a high moisture content that stands up well to high-moisture foods. The flavor is clean, light, and oceanic. The texture has plenty of soft pop and delicate crunch so the salt always engages your mouth.
This sparkling, autumn cloud grey salt is perfect for very wet foods such as steamed vegetables, fish, candies, or perfectly roasted chickens. In addition, it functions well on home made snack food such as dips and deep-fried treats. Essentially, fleur de sel is an all-purpose salt that should live on the dinner table.
