Fleur De Sel (French Flower) Sea Salt

Fleur de Sel is a rare type of sea salt produced in France. It is hand-harvested from sea water, but unlike regular sea salt it comes from the delicate surface layer of salt marshes. The irregularly-sized crystals are scraped off the surface of the sea brine using a rake called a 'lousse'. Because of the nature of its formation, fleur de sel is produced in small quantities. At Guérande, France, each salt marsh produces only about 2.2 pounds per day. Because of this and the labor-intensive way in which it is harvested, fleur de sel is the most expensive of salts. It's delicate structure makes it a perfect finishing salt on your fine cuisine, including soups, salads, fish, meat, fruit, vegetables, even dessert. Here's structure, crunch, and delicate pure flavor really shine.
