Indulge in the luxurious taste of Fleur de Sel. These delicate flakes, harvested from the top layer of seawater by hand, boast a pure, clean flavor with a subtle hint of sweetness. Fleur de Sel is a finishing salt, best enjoyed sprinkled on top of cooked meats, seafood, salads, and even chocolate for a touch of decadence. Fleur de Sel de Grande is known as the caviar of salts and is accepted by many chefs as the best of all sea salts. The crystals form on the very top layer of the salt ponds and are harvested by barely skimming the surface. True Fleur de Sel can only originate from Gurande just as authentic champagne can only come from the Champagne region of France. It has a delicate flavor, a moist texture, and a rich, sweet flavor that melts as it touches the tongue. Not only is this among the best tasting salts, it also has the highest mineral content and is naturally low in sodium making it delicious and healthy. Fleur de Sel is a natural compliment to steamed/grilled veggies, salads and roasted or baked meats. Given that Fleur de Sel is both from the Gurane and is certified Organic, this is truly the best of the best gourmet sea salts.
